Hi,
I've read about a plugin or something for Mail which can read all the information in the winmail.dat files. If I see it again I'll post it.

In most cases the ".dat" file doesn't need to be opened. It's just a copy of the message using fancy fonts, styles, etc.

In some cases there could be an attachment in there, but it's better to get the original person to re-send the email using a properly attached attachment rather than an inline one ... we have to slowly train all these Windows dumb-dumbs somehow. Microsoft Oulook for example has options to "Insert", "Insert as Text", and "Insert as Attachment" - choosing that last option is usually best rather than relying on simple "Insert".
