Frequently Asked Questions
What is a winmail.dat file?
A winmail.dat file is created by Microsoft Outlook when it sends emails in Rich Text Format (RTF). It contains the formatted message and any attachments, but can only be opened with specific software.
Why can't I open winmail.dat files normally?
Most email clients and operating systems don't natively support the TNEF format used in winmail.dat files. You need specialized software like Winmail File Viewer to decode and access the contents.
Is my data safe when using Winmail File Viewer?
Yes! All file processing happens directly on your device. We don't upload, store, or have access to any of your files or personal data. Your privacy is completely protected.
What types of files can I extract from winmail.dat?
You can extract any type of file that was attached to the original email, including documents (DOC, PDF, TXT), images (JPG, PNG, GIF), spreadsheets (XLS, CSV), and many more file formats.
How do I prevent receiving winmail.dat files?
Ask senders using Outlook to send emails in HTML or plain text format instead of Rich Text Format. They can change this in their Outlook settings or for individual recipients.
Does the app work offline?
Yes! Once installed, Winmail File Viewer works completely offline. You don't need an internet connection to open and extract files from winmail.dat attachments.
