Seems we discussed this a few years ago, and I can't remember the solution...

I'm getting E-mail from a client with attachments "winmail.dat"

How do I view them? ...Jim Thompson

winmail.dat is an attachment packaged as TNEF:

Outlook sends them, so either (in decreasing order of preference): (a) get you correspondent to disable that and send again (b) use the open source software (e.g. 1) to unpack them or (c) use Outlook

What email client?

There is a plug in for Thunderbird that opens them. I think its called "lookout".

The solution is to get the sender to re-send the email without using rich text format (RTF). There is nothing that can be done in Eudora to solve the problem. (I also still use Eudora.)

As Jim probably has me filtered because I use google groups, would somebody please be kind enough to forward this to him.

It was written in the 90's but it works and doesn't need installation.

Does it actually do Win7> The website implies NO, but the author's E-mail bounces. ...Jim Thompson

There's an app for that:

Or read it online (if you don't care about who's reading your email attachments):

I haven't needed to use it under 7, but it is a 32 bit app.
