Reposting due to dead SCOUG-Help list:

I received an E-mail today with an attachment that I need to read, but was
called winmail.dat. While I could view most of the contents with a text
editor, I couldn't really see the entire thing. I tried Open Office, to
no avail.

I was about to post here, but then remembered that my friend Google might
be of help. Sure enough, it led me to
http://www.gpc.edu/~jbenson/resource/winmail.htm, which told me that the
culprit was Outlook, and that the format was proprietary. The site
sugested that a utility called WMDecode might be able extract the
attachment. WMDecode is at http://www.biblet.com/.

Using Odin and WMDecode, I was able to successfully extract the
attachment. No sweat.

Just a tip...
