I've just encountered a strange (to me) e-mail problem. I'm running W7 Home Premium using Live Mail. Ordinarily people send me Word and Excel attachments that show up with the paper clip and the name of the file under the header and I click on it and it opens. Today someone sent me a file that had the paper clip put no window under the header with file names, that is, no clue as where the attachment was. I then looked at the e-mail on my webmail access and sure enough there is an attachment, but it's a file called winmail.dat and my computer doesn't know what to do with a dat extension. I found the winmaildat.com tool online and used that to open the file. The file contained the 4 pdfs that the client sent me. Is this a problem at my end or the client's?
