dealing with winmail.dat attachments

Featured Replies

Hello,

I can't find this issue elsewhere in the forum, so here goes...

Does anyone have experience of dealing with winmail.dat attachments? I gather these are sometimes sent by Outlook and wrap around the file that you actually wanted to attach. So EG If you sent a .docx file from outlook, it may well be sent inside a winmail.dat file.

I believe that most email clients (eg Apple Mail and Thunderbird) have 'decoders' to re-convert these .dat files back to their original.

The problem is - How can we convert winmail.dat files that we download from email attachments (using Email Plugin) and store the original in container fields?

Many thanks for any insight into this!

Cheers

Guy

I'm not familiar with winmail.dat files but I do know that our Email plugin does not handle these attachments differently from other attachments out of the box. They would be downloaded like any other attachment. From there you could potentially use a script (Apple Script, etc.) to "decode" the file back to it's original.
