[from davidt / web searching] I am guessing that you mean an email attachment called "winmail.dat" created by a microsoft email application, that contains a rich text format version of the email text and any attachments that were sent with the original email. The mimetype is application/ms-tnef. #file winmail.dat Transport Neutral Encapsulation Format ?neutral!=ms only? On linux, download and install a tnef unpacker from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/tnef or an rpm package from dags repository at: http://dag.wieers.com/packages/tnef/ or: http://rpmforge.net/user/packages/tnef/ #tnef winmail.dat #ls -l should see original .dat and the unpacked attachment. For the text message and attachments as well as file time/date/size info: #tnef --verbose --list --save-body winmail.dat remove --list to actually extract. You can view message.rtf with eg: openoffice.org writer.

There are numerous variations of a .DAT file. Without knowing the specifics (ie. which program created the .DAT file) I cannot recommend a conversion utility. In general, if you can imagine the data in the .DAT file being represented in an Excel file in a logical and meaningful way, yes, you could find (or design) a utility to perform such a conversion.
