> Especially if it's a person you trust send him an email telling him he > should enter "winmail.dat" in Google and search how he can program/change > Outlook so he won't ever attach winmail.dat again. that is rather bold a statement and a stance I would not choose in communication with, say, a customer. Plus, since we're discussing the abilities of our favourite mail client here, let's not go into ideology, and advising people to do something about their stupid customers/mail partners. Rather I'd choose to have a mail client that can look into that winmail.dat for me to see if there is an attachment I expect or not. To my knowledge, not only OL/OE overhead, but also valid attachments can be packed by Outlook in this file format. If Marek Mikus says, TheBat! can read the format for me, I am fully satisfied. Hello Viktor, after I did some research on this, winmail.dat for me was always one of the file types I deleted immediately when attached to a mail in The Bat!. In the beginning I used to open such files several times with "QuickViewPlus" (a program that "looks at" the content but does not REALLY open it - so there's no danger coming from it. >From what I understood many years ago winmail.dat is a file produced because >someone did not configure his Outlook correctly. Maybe I'm completely wrong... I never saw anything worthwhile in winmail.dat attachments.
