| 346756 | 2005-04-19 21:43:00 | thanks speedy, do you think that would account for the email being bounced back to me when i try to reply to it..???? | plod (107) | ||
| 346757 | 2005-04-19 21:52:00 | Maybe, it the sent-from address doesn't exist. Also, there is a possibility that a mail filter on the receiving server didn't like the DAT extension. | pheonix (36) | ||
| 346758 | 2005-04-19 21:52:00 | Do u know the email / person it came from?? Not sure might be the reason, or wherever it came from doesnt use a valid email address. Why it bounced back. Or they use some kind of anti spam program maybe? |

| 346759 | 2005-04-19 21:53:00 | Possibly, if the mistyped their own address in the reply address. There is a tool for Mac OS X to extract the contents of a winmail.dat file: mac.softpedia.com Undoubtedly there's one available for other OS versions. Edit: Yup: www.joshjacob.com |

| 346760 | 2005-04-19 22:01:00 | You may be able to open it this way. 1. save the ".dat" file 2. Open Stuffit Expander (Applications / Utilities) 3. Drag and Drop the ".dat" file. Or use this program TNEF's Enough - 2.0 www.versiontracker.com |
