Win Dat Viewer For Mac

The Winmail.dat Reader free online version was developed for Mac, Linux, iPad, iPhone, Android, Blackberry (and so on) users who received Winmail.dat attachments files sent by MS Outlook and MS Exchange.

So you just received an email with an attachment that someone sent you, but the extension on the file is.DAT. What exactly is a.DAT file and how to you open.DAT files?

These are two questions I’m going to try to answer as I’ve seen many friends and family encounter this problem before. The first thing to understand about.DAT files is that it indicates a file that has arbitrary data. That means it’s not associated with any one particular program or application. When you see a file with a.XLS extension, you know it’s referring to an Excel file, and so on. But with.DAT files, you have to figure out how to open it yourself and different.DAT files may open with different programs. Before we get into the different ways you can open a DAT file, it’s worth noting that you should first check to make sure the file does not contain any viruses. Since a DAT file can be anything, I’ve seen cases where spammers and hackers try to hide spyware or viruses inside DAT files.

If you don’t already have an anti-virus program, I recommend using either or since they consistently perform at the top in and rankings. They are not free, but most free antivirus programs end up bundling extra junk software or redirecting your browser to their “secure” search solution, which isn’t secure at all and just tracks you and shows you more ads. The best way to open a.DAT file is to use the program that created it. Obviously, that’s easy if you knew which program created it, right? So how does one go about figuring this out? Well, there are a couple of ways. Firstly, you can try opening the file in something like Notepad.

You should know that Notepad can open anything, even image and video files and display them as text. Almost all of the file will most likely be gibberish that makes no sense, but sometimes at the beginning or end of the file, you will see some useful information. This is because even videos, images, etc have some sections of the file that are text and that usually contain information about the file. As an example, I opened the Wildlife sample video in Windows 7 using Notepad. When opening the file in Notepad, you need to choose All Files otherwise it will only show you text files.

Once you do this, select the video file and open it. Mozilla thunderbird. It might take a while to open it if it’s a big video file.

Now look at the top and you’ll see some interesting info: As you can see, there is some text and even though it doesn’t tell you the exact filetype, you can gather that it’s a video file from Microsoft. My first choices would be WMV (Windows Media Video) or AVI. Now Notepad is a very simple tool and it may not work all the time depending on what kind of file it is. However, I have written another post on how to and the same procedure that I describe there can be used to for DAT files. Basically, you have to install a hex editor, which lets you view the hex code for a file and more accurately see the data. You’ll have a much better chance of figuring out the original file type using this method. You’ll normally only see DAT files when receiving emails with attachments.
