- is a good idea - *if* you can contact the person who sent it; i.e., the sender is someone you know. However, in Windows, .dat files are usually nothing you would normally send to anyone.
Sadly, this is completely wrong. Just about every outlook user sends these .dat files all the time. Those TNEF files are encoded mail with the same idea as html mail, in that outlook tries to preserve things like layout.
Yes, "LookOut Express" and "LookOut" both send .dat files. Fred -- "Running Windows on a Pentium is like getting a Porsche but only being able to drive it in reverse with the handbrake on."
