[Year 12 IT Apps] How to open winmail.dat attachments

[Jeff Kerry]

Like a number of others on this list, I have been a bit frustrated when
people have included good-sounding attchments but then I find the only
attachment is a file called winmail.dat which doesn't seem to open on my
machine.

A little research shows the winmail.dat was created when the sender was
using Outlook, which I don't use or want to.

A little more digging found a free program called Winmail Reader that
neatly solves the problem. You can download it from

Good luck,
