Emailing to Evernote with Attachments - MSFT Outlook

[IanHep 0]

If I forward an email with an attachement from a Hotmail/Outlook account using MS Outlook for Windows PC - usually a PDF - the attachment is not accesible in Evernote.

The email is there as a note, but with a winmail.dat file attached, rather than the pdf that I want.  This file seems to be the right size, as though the pdfs are in there somewhere.  The text comes through, but without images  In pace of the images I get all kinds of safelinks.protection.outlook.com mumbo jumbo, even though in Outlook the sender has been accepted as 'safe' and I can see the images.

• My Android email works as I expect - I get the full email with images and PDF in Evernote when I forward from my hotmail account using Android Mail. 
• Forwarding to Evernote from Hotmail in a browser (ie online) also works as expected.
• Forwarding using Outlook on the PC from my non-MSFT email account also works fine.

The only probelm is when I use Outlook on the PC, with my Hotmail account.

Is this some strange set up that MSFT default to?  If so I would appreciate any advice because this is very annoying - most of the pdf's I want to keep on Evernote are bills and personal records, that come into my personal hotmail account.

A quick Google search suggests this might be becasue I forward the email as Rich Text, but this is not the case, the email to Evernote goes as HTML.

Or is the problem at Evernote's end?

 

Thanks for your help.

Hi.  This has been raised before;  not sure if there is a conclusion.  See https://www.slipstick.com/problems/outlook-is-sending-winmail-dat-attachments/ for some history on this.  It will probably be of no help at all to you that I send emails to Evernote using Evernote's Outlook Clipper,  and a snazzy little function* in Outlook 2013 called "Quick Steps" that gives me a one-click way to forward emails with (within limits) specific additions to email subject lines like @<notebook> and #<tag>.  Attachments come along fine.

I'm actually using Gmail,  IMAPped through Outlook,  and some automatic forwards go direct under Gmail account rules - that's less fancy;  just the bare email to my default notebook,  sorted later.

There's also an Evernote Browser Gmail Clipper which I use from time to time.  You might want to check to see what similar functions Hotmail has.

* Quick Steps got renamed and possibly replaced in later Outlook versions...
