So, I've been doing some searching on this subject and I found a lot of folks complaining about problems when they send formatted messages from Mail to Outlook users, but now much on the other way around. Right now, I am using Entourage and it interacts well with all the windows folks who use outlook. The problem is, I find Entourage to be kind of clunky and I prefer the OS X Mail presentation.

Now, I also use an iphone and noticed that it does a good job of displaying messages sent from outlook - so I thought that Mail would do the same right?

Not so. Messages from outlook users all show up in plain text along with an attachment always named "Mail Attachment". Now, I can click on "Mail Attachment" and can see that it is in some format that the Mac is unable to decipher and I get a bunch of encoded garbage.

Is there anyone out there that had experienced this? Anyone find a solution? Anyone wonder why the iphone can do a better job of dealing with outlook originated mail than the mac Mail can?
