Someone I know got a file with a .dat extension. Since I'm their de facto IT geek I thought I'd take a look at it. When I execute the "file" command, I get
"Transport Neutral Encapsulation Format".
It's some sort of MS MAPI file according the first hit on google. 'strings < file.dat' might be interesting.
Thanks. Some the strings are the same that OpenOffice shows. However, nothing of much interest there. I googled MAPI and saw that MAPI is beyond my comprehension/interest level. Could this be virus-related?
Errr this file wouldn't be called winmail.dat would it?
C.
Errr yes. I looked up winmail.dat on Google and my comprehension level (of dubious dribble) has risen. Thanks.
