Email attachments disappear when sent to others

Whenever I send an attachment through Outlook, the recipient receives the email without the attachment although they sometimes say that it got renamed to winmail.dat.

It happens to all attachments regardless of who I send it to and the format of the file (e.g. PDF, Word, jpg, etc). If I send the same attachment through web mail or from another computer, the attachment remains intact and is received in the email.

I've tried turning off my anti-virus program but that's not made any difference, so I'm assuming the issue must be within Outlook itself.

Wrapping text automatically option doesn’t seem to work

I’ve set Outlook’s “Automatically wrap text at character” option to 40 instead of the default 76 but it doesn’t appear to do anything.

When I compose a message, the line still goes on forever and doesn’t break into a new line at character 40 at all. The same is true for the received message.

Why isn’t it working or what is this option supposed to do then?

Sadly, most of the time the constant forwarding has really messed up the formatting and in my view it negatively affects the "fun factor" of it as well.

How can I efficiently clean up the email upon forwarding?
