Does anyone know how to view winmail.dat attachments??? I often get these from my manager (using lookout) and other co-workers. TIA, DC
Not that I know of... Ask them to send with base64 encoding and see if that works. Matt On Fri, 21 Mar 2003, Darrell Cormier wrote:

I have not found a way to view them on a windows machine yet either. I have not let outlook loose on my network here at work. Either though you can patch outlook express to fix the problem with viruses I'm not taking any chances an use Eudora on all workstations. If you find a way to view them please let me know for I get some of them sometimes too. jack malone At 12:03 PM 3/21/2003 -0600, Darrell Cormier wrote:

There are programs for Windows so non-outbreak clients can decode them, but this I believe is for UNIX/Linux based systems. If you do a search on google you'll find several tools to do this on many platforms. http://sourceforge.net/projects/tnef/ They are in MS-TNEF format. Basically Outbreak encodes the whole bloody email into one binary file. Quite annoying when my 7-10 people in my department don't use Microsoft anything with the acception of our marketing and sale goons. I personally don't get much email from them so I've not had to use this, but several people I work with say it works quite well. There is a pkg for it on the SuSE 8.1 CD's but I forget what it's called. latah, -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org Tell me what you believe.. I'll tell you what you should see.

Thanks for the info Ben. It works great. This will make my life easier. I am the only one in my group that uses Linux so I get lots of these attachments. -- DC

Another option is to use the version of Kmail in the new Kontact snapshoot. It seem to have this ability builtin (through the ktnef library that gets build). It looks like you can view it through Konqi too if you save it with the tnf extension after installing Kontact. YMMV since I haven't tried it out yet.
