How do i open winmail.dat attachments in mail ?

Having problems with Winmail.dat attachments? This is really Windows problem but their hubris will not allow them to admit it.
Windows does have a global fix for this problem but it is not a general patch - in their KB there is a fix for Exchange servers which cause the winmail.dat problem but most users don't know about it or have it implemented.

Here is a solution that Apple users can get for $30. An Austrian program and APP called Letter Opener http://www.creativeinaustria.com/http:// is the solution to seamlessly opening Winmail.dat files.

In Outlook, I changed the setting for how the mail sent to each typoe to resolve the issue. I created one email per setting and addressed to both people on their corporate exchange account (same server for both) and their gmail accounts. This is where the confusion arose since one phone receives fine and the other doesn't. I used Gmail as an alternate mail client with the same result.
So basically I used two different clients each time sending to four addresses two are located on each phone. Phone A always receives a winmail.dat file no matter which client or email address is used. Phone B always receives the attachment in it's correct format.
I took it a step further and used the phones to test sending. Even if I use Phone A to send to the other account on Phone A, winmail.dat is received. If done from Phone B to Phone A, Phone A winmail.dat persists. Phone A to Phone B correct format is received. I'm thinking there is a setting somewhere on Phone A I'm not aware of that was somehow changed since it is not mail client dependant nor recipient mail server dependant based on the testing results.
This is a Microsoft Windows setting with Microsoft Outlook or within the Exchange Server gateway in general. These winmail.dat files have been arriving on Linux, BSD, OS X, Tru64 Unix, ULTRIX, Solaris and many other servers for many years, too — unfortunately, everybody that's using non-Microsoft clients and tools encounters these files from time to time. The winmail.dat is a Windows Mail data file, after all.
If the mail client or if the mail server gateway sends a mail message to an iOS device — or many other "foreign" mail clients — that involves a winmail.dat file generated by the sending client or generated by the originating mail server gateway, then iOS will show the winmail.dat file. Like many other mail clients, the iOS mail client does not decode, process nor create these winmail.dat files. (Most clients simply treat these winmail.dat files as an arbitrary attachment on the message.)
Send the same messages to the same email addresses and read those messages via another mail client — one that doesn't have winmail.dat support — and you'll see the exact same behavior; a wad of attached winmail.dat data.
From Microsoft: How to Prevent the Winmail.dat File from Being Sent to Internet Users. In short, either the Outlook client settings or the Exchange Server (IMC) settings will need to be changed here.

How can I open a .wps attachment in Entourage?

How can I open a .wps attachment in Entourage?

That is a dedicated Windows format for Microsft Works ( now obsolete) and there is no direct conversion on the Mac side. There are workabouts:
http://www.ehow.com/how_6132993_open-wps-files-mac.html
The best thing is to encourage those who send such files to use "Save as..." from Works to save the file in another format. I believe Works allows the .rtf format that will open in TextEdit on the Mac. If they have the .doc option, you can open the file with Apple's Pages, Word for Mac, or any of the free productivity suites like LibreOffice.
I received .wps files on a Win computer that did not have Works and it did not get very far either. Sounds like someone is not very accustomed to sharing files online.
Can you tell us what model iMac you have and what Mac OS version it is running? "iOS" is not a Mac computer OS; runs only on iDevices.

How can I open Microsoft doc attached to my iPad email

How can I open Microsoft doc attached to my iPad email

The document should open as an email attachment in the mail app. Did you tap on the icon in order to open the file?
However, if you want to save or edit the document, then you will need a Word compatible app on the iPad. pages, Documents To Go, quick Office Pro ... And others are available in the app store.
But you can open and read it right from the mail app as an attachment.

How can I copy the date and time in Mail header?

How can I copy the date and time in Mail header?
I can copy everything else in the header for pasting in another application.
But not the date and time which is absolutely vital.
It was ok in 10.6

I suppose you could copy it from the Raw Source. View>Message>Raw Source

How do you open a .dat attachment with Lion?

Can anyone tell me how to open a .dat attachment now the Lion no longer supports the Tnef Enough program?

The problem is that MS Outlook thinks that it is sending attachments to another Windows-based Outlook installation (actually its MS Exchange that's the culprit but we won't go there). So an easy fix is to have your son change your entry in his Outlook address book to indicate that you cannot receive RTF format files.
Also, you can download a very nice app, TNEF's Enough http://www.joshjacob.com/mac-development/tnef.php
It will enable you to drag and drop those pesky .dat files into TNEF where the attachment will open and enable you to save the individual files in their proper format.

How do I open winmail.dat attachments

When receiving a winmail.dat attachment I am unable to open it.

You could try the LookOut! add-on.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/lookout/
It appears not to have been updated recently, but there are recent comments suggesting it is still functional.
There are some standalone tools for converting these files, e.g.
http://www.winmail-dat.com/
and I think you will be able to find some on-line converters too.
You might also want to tell your correspondents that their attachments are of no use to you, and direct them to this article:

How can I change incorrect "date received" info in Mail?

When I switched to Mavericks I had to leave behind Eudora, which I liked. I started using Mail, but when Mail imported my email files from Eudora it misdated many of the files, using the date the file was imported as the "date received". Since I use the date to help me keep track of sequencing of emails received, having this incorrect date thrown in is a problem, but I can't find any way to correct it.
Exactly how can I correct the "date received" on mislabeled emails? The dates were correct in my Eudora files, but I can't access those any more now that I'm on Mavericks, so I'm going to have to manually check the emails to find the dates in the headers or message contents.
I'm not highly tech savvy, so if I have to go into the Terminal, I'll have to know exactly what prompts to look for and what specific information to provide, and in what format.
Help!

Hi Stuart.
Open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, type the following command (you can just copy it here, paste in a text editor, modify the email address, then copy the whole command again, and paste in Terminal), and press <Return>:
defaults write com.apple.mail UserHeaders '{"Reply-To" = "[email protected]";}'
The following article contains a more thorough description of this technique that takes into consideration the possibility that you might inadvertently overwrite other default headers by doing that:

I have a nokia N95 and when i recieve any email attachment which is excel file or word file by email it is shown as winmail.dat and i cannot open the file or even save it with a differnet name or extension however if i send the file with bluetooth from my computer to the phone it is opened and read perfect
1- we use exchange server 2003
2- outlook 2003 as a client
I know that exchange sends these files in rtf format is there a work around so i can read my documents !!!Message Edited by amrlotus on 12-Apr-200702:48 PM

I tried changing the extension, which sort of works. I sent an email to my wife's iMac from my PC, which had several .jpg and one .pdf files attached. It shows up in Mail with a single winmail.dat file attached. I changed it to a.pdf, and it opened the pdfonly. I couldn't get the jpgs to open, even with a .jpg extesion.
First of all, why in the world would it do this? Second, how do I open them since they are mixed type, and several at once? Seems ridiculaous that a Mac does this to attachments, BTW.

Can not open winmail.dat PDF file attachments

clients send pdf attachments usually electrical drawings for bid and a winmail.dat pdf file shows in attachment. I click on and error message says can not open this type file. I have adobe reader Why?

If you can't open the attachment, have your client/ customer or whatever fix their defective copy of Outlook and send real mail attachments not TNEF encoded rubbish. They are spewing defective email every time they click send on a mail with an attachment.

How can i open large data?

he code in the screenhot opens realy all data
formats, but only small data, when the data becomes too large, LabView
say: "Not enough Memory to complite this operation". But I have enough
Memory. This appear already by a data-largeness of fwe bytes (maybe
more than 10 MB).
I have 1 Gbyte Memory, also enough, but when i
will open a small data with only 10 MByte it say's to me that i have
not enough memory.
Ok when i would open a data with more than
1Gbyte, for example a zip-file, i can understand it, but the data are
realy not large.
Can somebody say waht is wrong?

You should also read the tutorial Managing Large Data Sets in LabVIEW. Some things you will learn:
Your current code is making several copies of your data. The tutorial will teach you how to find them and eliminate them. The tutorial has not been updated for LabVIEW 8.5 yet, and there are several enhancements in LabVIEW 8.5. The updated version is posted below. The code examples did not change.
For best speed in reading from the disk, you want to use 65,000 byte chunks.
Store your data in a single-element queue. This will give you best performance for a large array.
Store your data as a set of arrays instead of one array (this has been mentioned above). You can break it up into several single-element queues or save it as an array of clusters, each cluster containing a sub-array of the data. The cluster acts sort of like a handle in C.
Let us know if you need more help.
