Why does my iphone not open email attachments?

Iphone 4S IOS6.1.3 has stopped letting me open email attachments such as Word, Exel and PDF. Instead it throws up a dialogue asking me to open it in another application (like 'Mail' ironically). Other Word docs present themselves as 'winmail.dat' format attachments. what the **** is going on? I need the iphone to read office attachments like it used to. I have 'reset' iphone using power and home buttons. Made no difference.


Anyone know the answer?

iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1, Win XP
