I have always received my boss's email that contained attachments with the attachment as a "pdf" file. Since yesterday - all his email with attachments shows the little paperclip with "win.dat" as the attachment name and it can't be opened.
Any ideas on how this happened and how to "fix" it?
Thanks as always.
