Payslips sent through Outlook an opened by apple change the PDF to Win.Dat

Phil Dodds

I am using Reckon Premier 2016 and when I email the payslips through Outlook 2016, people who open them with an apple device find the PDF file changed to a win.dat file that they can't open.
When I resend from my sent file they go through correctly.
I am sending in plain text as using any other text causes the same problem for windows users
