Subject: Pine with Microsoft Exchange

Hopefully, someone will know the answer to the following problems:

A bunch of us here at work are using Pine (v3.95) on SunOS 4.1.4.
Other people here at work are using Microsoft Exchange for their
email.

When people on Microsoft Exchange send email to us Pine users,
we get this WINMAIL.DAT uudecoded text at the bottom of each
email. Also a server id is embedded in the email address in
the "From:" field in the header.

We Pine users cannot respond directly to these Microsoft Exchange
users because the email bounces unless we remove the server id.

For example, if I was a Microsoft Exchange user, my id would
appear as follows to Pine users:

   [email-masked]
       ^^^

The "po1" is some sort of server id.

Yet another group of people use Sun's "mailtool" for their email.
Users of "mailtool" do not get the WINMAIL.DAT text at the bottom
of their emails, nor do they get the server id in the header and
they *can* respond directly to the email.

Questions:

1) Is there a way to suppress the inclusion of the WINMAIL.DAT
   text at the bottom of the email?

2) Is there a reason why the server id is being embedded in the
   email address?

3) Is there a way to respond to Microsoft Exchange users without
   having to edit the email address everytime?

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!

That wouldn't be because you installed Microsoft Office/Word with "Word Mail" 
support would it?  It seems to do many annoying, industry-NON-standard things 
...  I'm not sure about that thought ...
