    Help! How do I open a winmail.dat attachment with my Mac OS 10.6.8 & Mail 4.6 (1085) Thank you.

    Winmail. dat file is attachments sent by Microsoft mail applications (Outlook, Outlook Express or Exchange) on a proprietary format called TNEF. Being a non-standard attachment format, users from other e-mail clients (like Thunderbird or Lotus Notes) or platforms (like Android, Apple, iPad or iPhone) cannot natively read them. But you can open it easily with a winmail viewer. Go to download one and good luck!

  • TS3276 why is jpeg file lost and replaced with winmail.dat file in mail

    I sent a jpeg file to my hotmail account, which is synchronised in my Mac Mail but the file was lost/converted to winmail.dat attachment, which I couldn't import to iPhoto. How do I import a jpeg image, emailed to me from an external source, to iPhoto?

    I think you need to configure Outlook in Windows to use HTML messages.
    Here is Microsoft's incomprehensible support document on the issue.
    Here is one from about.com that makes sense.

    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. 
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/138053http://
    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.

    Hi everyone
    please help

    Nokia N95(09.01)
    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.

  • Opening Winmail.dat files in Mail on iPad (Ms Windows Word, Excel, Ppt)

    I thought I'd share my findings on what to do if your Word, Excel, Powerpoint attachments come into your Mail as winmail.dat files. In my experience I downloaded the following Apps:
      Pages
      Numbers
      DocsToGo
    WinMailViewer
      Letter Opener
    To open the winmail.dat file hold the icon until asked how you want to open the file: WinMailViewer or Letter Opener (assuming you've previously downloaded both Apps).
    WinMailViewer is exactly what it says ... a 'viewer' of the file.  The file is sent to the relevant App which you subsequently open to see a list of the files.
    Letter Opener will bring up the attachment(s) in a separate window and gives you choices on which App you'd like to use to open or view the file with. Depending on what Apps you've previously downloaded:
      For Excel it might list: Quick Look, DocsToGo, Csv File Editor, PDFReaderLite
      For Word, it might list: Pages, DocsToGo, PDFReaderLite
    DocsToGo is an excellent option for working on Word, Excel files (N.B. If you have a big Excel file with 'frozen' window panes, I recommend clicking on the 4th tool (bottom toolbar) UnFreezing the panes while you work or move around the file as I haven't figured how to work with it on!!)
    Pages is the best option to use for editing Word files.
    Numbers is probably the best option to use for editing Excel files.
    Csv File Editor is another Excel editing option.
    I hope that helps.

    I should further say the files I sent are .xlsx and .docx files.  They look fine my end and I send such files all the time without problems.
    However, I did try to cheat by going in via the Safari onto my 'live' online email account and the Safari automatically transfers them to winmail.dat files with the same result.
    Ahh - have just been on using my PC this time and you are right, it seems that the service provider does the transfer and then when my outlook opens the file (on the PC), it must reconvert to .xlsx etc again.
    Very strange.
    Ergo, I guess the question should be how I open wimail.dat files ??

  • Winmail.dat attachment

    I sometimes forward a file from my office (PC) to my home email address. The attachment I recently tried to send was a word document, but was received as a winmail.dat file. I have made the changes in Outlook to supposedly resolve this issue, i.e. changed the settings to HTML, but still receiving winmail.dat. I also have Office 2004 installed on the imac. I noted that there is third party shareware available to "resolve" this issue. Is there another solution?

  • Winmail.dat in Apple mail

    Wow I just have to share with y'all the software solution to those winmail.dat files that have been appearing in my Mail inbox from my office.
    When I send files out to some people, frequently I will Bcc myself so that the email also appears on my home email - and it does - but in the form of a winmail.dat file.
    So off I went to find out what others used to open these - and I was directed to
    http://www.restoroot.org/OMiC/en/index.php
    Love the inexpensive cost and the ease of the software too.
    Just had to share,

    Now how boring would that be!
    Thanks for that thought.
    If you stop using RTF or HTML for message composition
    with Outlook and use Plain Text instead for a number
    of reasons, this will resolve it without having to
    use such software.
    This is not a Mail.app problem only. The same occurs
    with any non-Outlook email client used by a recipient
    when the sender of a message is an Outlook user and
    adds attachments to a message that was composed with
    RTF or HTML instead of using Plain Text for message
    composition - but primarily when using RTF with
    Outlook.
    This is a Windows Outlook bug that Microslop doesn't
    care enough about to fix.

  • RTF Word files arrive as Winmail.dat files and cannot be opened

    Hi, I currently have a Bold 9900 and some emails arrive with attachment winmial.dat.  It was send originally as a Word file.  I understand that if sent as html or some other format it will arrive fine - but I cannot ask the senders to swithc the format sent.  Why can;t BB open this file.  Willing to buy app that would fix this.  My main question is - if I upgarde to the new Classic - will the problems continue.  I have asked Blackberry and they told me - the Classic will not have that problem, but I have noticed other CClassic users claim to have same problem.  any help would be apprciated.  tks Pete

    only outlook program can open it
    most likely you got it from a device that is on exchange and their mail server is still set to send out RTF

  • Fetch data from table and generate attachment than mail it.

    Hello Experts,
    From couple of day I am searching on Google for a better database procedure that will help me to get data from tables and generate attachment and mail it but i fail.
    My Scenario is:
    I have a query that will fetch almost 5000 records from database tables. Each record has almost 75 characters
    select a.location_code,
                   a.item_code,
                   b.description item_desc,
                   to_char(a.manufact_date,'ddMonyy')mfg,
                   to_char((a.manufact_date + nvl(b.expiry_period,0)),'ddMonyy')expr,
                   to_char((a.manufact_date + nvl(b.qurantine_period,0)),'ddMonyy')qrtn,
                   round(nvl (b.qurantine_period, 0) - (sysdate - a.manufact_date)) days_elapsed,
                   a.closing_balance_posted quantity
              from wms_stock_current_balance_v a, wms_item_setup_mast b
             where a.closing_balance > 0
               and a.item_code = b.item_code
               and a.loc_type in ('RACKING','PICKING','QUICKA','BUNDLED')
               and nvl(b.qurantine_period,0) > 0
               and round(nvl (b.qurantine_period, 0) - (sysdate - a.manufact_date)) <= 0
          order by a.item_code, a.location_code;
    Sample data of above query is
    LOCATION_CODE
    ITEM_CODE
    ITEM_DESC
    MFG
    Expiry
    Quarantine
    Days Elapse

  • How can I get Mac mail to open winmail.dat attachments on lion 10.7.3

    How can I get Mac mail to open letter attachments winmail.dat??   (Lion 10.7.3) Any help appreciated...

    Sorry peterskine,
    it's true in part. There's more then one article on the subject "Recipients receive a winmail.dat attachment":
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/outlook-help/recipients-receive-a-winmail-dat- attachment-HA010153018.aspx?CTT=1
    The odd thing is that my colleague and me use the same release mountain lion and we received the same email from someone on Outlook2007. He received the mail with the attachment, whilst I saw a "Winmail.dat". It already happened to me on snow-leopard, some month ago. Up til today I don't know what the difference between our machines is.
    But it is interesting: the same OS, the same mail-clients (Apple Mail) and still different results.
    Note: on my machine it used to work properly. It just suddenly happened that I started to receive winmail.dat files in stead of proper attachments.
    When I have more time on hand, I cant try to find out why this happens.
