You can also try out OMiC, a Apple Mail Plug-in which process winmail.dat files in Mail.

OMiC also support nested messages, VCF, ICS in winmail.dat files which TNEF’ Enough can’t export, and also handle long filename better.

I found that the preferences needed to be set up and all is well now. I think that TNEF should be integrated into OSX to work within the preview option to open the files in preview. Newer KDE based distros. open the .dat file in miniature when hovered by the cursor, the clicking it opens in a separate window. Thanks for a good product that works well.

I’ve used TNEF on this mac before, worked great. I however did a fresh install of leopard and reinstalled TNEF and it opens .dat’s in a blank page. I tried opening older saved .dat’s that I have opened successfully before and still a blank page.

The email client doesn’t matter. If there is anything in the winmail.dat file, TNEF should be ale to extract it. Save it to your desktop and open it from within TNEF.

Thanks a million! I’ve had numerous requests from puzzled Mac users about winmail.dat files, and TNEF’s enough worked great. Keep up the good work!
