So I just placed a renewal order on Domainsatcost.ca for two domains, and got these two error messages:

• Your Transaction has been declined. Please click continue to try again or to verify your credit card information. If you continue to experience problems with this transaction please contact your credit card company.
• We're sorry, an error has occurred during processing for the following items: XXX.ca, YYY.ca. Customer Service will manually correct and process the items, please do not place another order. Your credit card has been billed.

I ask with tears in my eyes, what should I do now? Deadlock......

Recently I had to find a way how to disable sending RTF based emails via Microsoft Exchange to recipients that do not have Exchange and that subsequently receive winmail.dat extensions for attachments added to the email due to Exchange's RTF parsing logic.

Seems like it turned out to be trivial, but very hard to find if you do not know where to look. Follow these steps:

1. You can do this either by opening the Outlook Contact, or from a new email.
2. Hover your mouse over the email recipient, and in the popup click Outlook Properties in the bottom right drop down icon.
   

   

3. In the Outlook Contact page, hover your mouse over the email address again, and click Outlook Properties again from the bottom right drop down icon.
   

   

4. In the email properties dialog box, select Send Plain Text only.
   

   

5. Click ok and you are done.
