How to open .WMV attachments

How do I open .WMV attachments that arrive in mail messages?

.WMV format is not supported by the iPad. I do not know of any app that can play them on the iPad. Myself, I convert them to a supported iPad format (I use mp4) on my desktop with Handbrake and them import them to my iPad.

How to open "wmv"?

Never figured out how to open "wmv" files from PC friends. How do I do that. Thanks. Ol' Jim.

Thanks Neil...New question re Leopard. In old days when machine would slow down, emptying trash cache and setting it with Tech Tool Pro did the trick. Today with inability to set the trash cache, my G5 Power Mac OS 10.4.11, CPU Speed 1.8 GHz and 768 MB Memory with thousands of files/folders and many apps takes 30 seconds to open. No problem. But, my G5 Pro Mac OS 10.5.7, 2 GHz Processor Speed and 1 GB Memory without all the files takes one minute to open. Always use "Secure Empty Trash. Can't figure out why the Pro Mac is slowing down. Any ideas. Thanks. Ol' Jim.

How to open .msg attachments

I upgraded recently Leopard 10.5.1. Previously I was working 10.4.10 so I do not have experience with Mail from 10.5.0.
In Leopard Mail 3.1 (914/915) I am receiving some mails with files xyz.msg and abc.msg (example names) attached. Those files do not show up with the paper clip attachment symbol in the Message Viewer window but they do show up as attachments within the message themselves and under the messages 'attachment triangle'.
In 10.4.x these sorts of files used to be imbedded within the mail message itself - seemingly like HTML embedded content. I could read the content and print it from within Mail and it acted like a specially formatted part of the mail message. In 10.5.1 however, these attachments are not rendered in the message, clicking to open them or saving them to the Finder is fine but I do not know with which application they can be read. I tried Text Edit and Safari - both can open the .msg files but only as HTML source.
Has anyone out there seen this behavior and have an idea for how to view these attachments, or better still, view them in the original message as per the old behavior?
Although in 10.4 I had "Display remote images in HTML messages" turned off for security, I also tried that here without effect.
Thanks to all.

I've had the same issue in 10.5.1 (not sure about 10.5.0). I've narrowed it down a bit however. I noticed that I always get the .msg (which can't really be read) when the sender uses Squirrelmail (webmail) to forward as attachment. When the sender uses Outlook and forwards as attachment, I get an email with no attachment. The size of the email indicates that there should be, but none is visible. However, when the sender uses Mail 3.1, the attachment works as expected (an envelope is shown that can be opened by a click).
Perhaps different mail clients use different methods when forwarding an email as an attachment? I'm sure this is a bug in Mail, but it certainly is frustrating!
Has anyone else seen this sort of behavior?

HT2614 how to open winmail attachments

how can I open winmail.dat attachments on my Mac. I can on the Ipad but not the Mac.

Alternatively, ask the sender(s) to change their Microsoft Windows email client settings; that change can be done with the client for a specific recipient (you, in this case), or globally when Exchange Server and Active Directory is involved; details here (HT2614), and here and here at Microsoft.

How to open .wmv files?

I am trying to open a .wmv file on my Macbook Air. Flip4Mac doesn't work for OS X 10.9.1. Any other players suggested or ideas?

Try using VLC.
If that WMV file contains DRM, no Mac OS X software will open it.

Opening .wmv attachments

This problem occurred after I reinstalled OS 10.3.9.
If I get a .wmv attachment in Entourage I can't open it there. I get the error message "QuickTime must be in stalled to run this application."
I can, however, locate the file and drop it onto the QuickTime icon and view it. I think this means that QT is installed along with Flip4mac.
QT Version 7.5

I think this is the same issue that cropped up after QT 7.5 was released, which is talked about at the F4M knowledge base HERE. It refers to the problem manifesting in Mail, so I imagine it is manifesting in Entourage with some variations. I suspect F4M will have an update soon.
