Winmail Extractor For Mac

Every now and then, we come across winmail.dat files that, unfortunately, are not natively supported by Apple’s Mail application and, as a result, we have to turn to third-party applications in order to access to content of these files.

Winmail Extractor is one of these applications that promises to help us access and save the content of all received winmail.dat files with just a few mouse clicks.

Moreover, Winmail Extractor is a helpful and very easy-to-use application that allows us to quickly view and save the important content embodied by winmail.dat files.

Microsoft’s Outlook email program usually sends emails in the Transport Neutral Encapsulation Format (TNEF), a proprietary email attachment format that contains all email attachments in a file named winmail.dat or wind.dat file.

Most email applications are not compatible with TNEF and you will need an app capable to extract the content of the windmail.dat file in order to gain access to those precious files.

To access and view the attachments included in a windmail.dat file you just have to drag and drop the file anywhere within Winmail Extractor’s main window. All available attachments are automatically displayed in the Extracted Files panel from where you can have a Quick Look of the files.

You can open any of the extracted files with the assigned application by simply double clicking on its icon. To save an attachment you can drag and drop the file on your Mac’s desktop or a folder of your choice. You can export all files at the same time by clicking on the “Save Files” button.

In conclusion, Winmail Extractor is simple and user-friendly application that promises to help you view and save all attachments that are contained by a winmail.dat file.
