Winmail Reader

If you are looking for Winmail Reader, you have come to the right place. We explain what Winmail Reader is and point you to the official download.

What is Winmail Reader?

Winmail Reader is a basic application for opening winmail.dat files, which are email attachments, sent by Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express and Microsoft Exchange. The attachments are sent using a less common container format known as TNEF, or Transport Neutral Encapsulation Format.

This format, since it is not commonly known and used, is not easily accessed by users, because file readers do not generally support this type of format. With Winmail Reader, users are now able to access these email attachments, and convert them as well into more popular formats.

Normally, these files look like the following: winmail.dat, ATT0001.dat or ATT00005.eml. Users who receive this type of email will generally see an email without a message, and that which contains just the attachment. This means that all email contents are stored within the winmail.dat file, and to see the full text of the email, an application that is able to decode the file is needed.

There are three versions of the application: one for Windows, one for Android devices and the last one for online use. Winmail Reader Online is cross-platform. All versions are provided as freeware.
