Opening Winmail.DAT file??

[ajp]

Does anyone know if I can use a "Winmail.DAT" file. It is a small spreadsheet previously used with Excel on a PC. Although I have Microsoft Office 2004 (and therefore Excel!) on my Mac, I can't figure out how to open it. Should it be possible?

Thanks.

Forum Search is your friend!

But since I'm in a good mood today...

I am having a problem with this, I have a winmail.dat file, and have opened it using TNEF's Enough. TNEF shows it as "untitled attachment" (with no file extension). When I open it in word or any program, it simply says

This attachment is a MAPI 1.0 embedded message and is not supported by this mail system.

Does anyone know what I can do? Thanks

How large is the attachment?

How large is the attachment?

12KB.

That doesn't seem to be large enough to include an actual Excel spreadsheet.

The recommended utility has always worked for me, when I have to deal with Windows users who insist on sending MIME attachments. You could ask the sender to turn off MIME encoding. It's not necessary anyway.

Thanks, I thought it may be a word document..but it still brings up that error message 😕
