What is a .DAT file?
Winmail.dat files are data files created by Microsoft Exchange Server to contain rich text (RTF) formatting information for emails sent by Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Mail. The files are typically invisible to the recipient because they are only meant to be read by the email client receiving the message. However, if the mail client cannot read the formatting information, the Winmail.dat file is visible to the recipient and attached to the email message.
If you receive an email message with a Winmail.dat file attached, you can open it with File Viewer Plus. The program allows you to view the message's contents and convert it to an email format, such as EML or MSG. You can also convert it to HTML or plain text.
