One of my sister's, on holidays in Italy a.t.m., has sent me an 5.8 MB e-mail with the Subject: of "three hot", the text of "Here it is" and a 4.2 MB winmail.dat attachment. With View->Message body As-> either Plain Text or Original HTML, when I double click on the attachment, I get the "Opening winmail.dat" screen which wants to open the file with Windows Media Player ... which then fails to open the file. ... Probably because it doesn't support the file type. How can I view the file?? Detach the winmail.dat file and save it as some sort of file, maybe?? Anybody got a suggestion?? -- Daniel User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:51.0) Gecko/20100101 SeaMonkey/2.48 Build identifier: 20170329183526 ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
