Winmail.dat Viewer — Letter Opener opens winmail.dat files as well as zip files.

Anyone who has used an Apple product to receive emails for an extended period has undoubtedly received a pesky winmail.dat file at one time or another. This happens when a Windows-based program like Outlook sends email in a format that your email client cannot read. The program cannot display it and so packages it into a winmail.dat file so that you can read it through another program.

Winmail.dat Viewer — Letter Opener is a program that lets you read those winmail.dat files. It would be nice if you could launch the file from direct within whatever your email client is. Instead, you have to open the email in this client or access the winmail.dat file directly. While this isn’t the most eloquent solution to the problem, it gets the job done and reasonably fast too once you are used to it.

You can receive and send emails directly from within this app, which is probably the most seamless way to do it. If you are using a different email client and want to respond through it, it’s a bit trickier. You’ll need to copy the text from this app and past it into the reply you have set up in the other app.

The other feature Winmail.dat Viewer — Letter Opener offers is the ability to view the contents of ZIP archives. You can’t unzip or do anything else with it, but you can at least look at the contents and determine if this something that requires additional attention.

This is the free version of Winmail.dat Viewer — Letter Opener. It lets you view winmail.dat files and browse ZIP archives. You can also see the sender, receiver and subject line associated with a winmail.dat file. There is also a WinmaI.dat Premium, which provides access to attachments, nested email functionality, address book contacts, notes, receipts and a series of other features.

Note that WinmaI.dat Premium does not include advanced ZIP features. For that, you’ll need to purchase the ZIP-Archive Premium app separately. This app not only lets you browse your ZIP archives, but you can also extract files and choose a location for the archiving. The premium ZIP app also gives you other features, such as the ability to export a file or multiple files from a ZIP archive to another app.
