It sounds like Outlook Express. If I remember correctly, winmail.dat is a text attachment. If you open it in a text editor you should be able to extract the content.I have recently been sent attachments of word documents to my Linux machine which reports in Ximian Evolution as application/ms-tnef attachment (winmail.dat). OOo obviously doesn't recognise them and neither does anything else on this machine. Is this some quirk of some XP/mail client combination from the sender because I haven't come across it before and suddenly have 2 from unconnected sources in a couple of weeks.
is a kind of RTF with MIME encoding produced by a bad combination of Outlook and Exchange. the problem is old and i had success before expanding the content of the winmail.dat file with this program (available for Windows and Linux): http://www.fentun.com/
