Does anyone know what a winmail.dat file is? Every now and again, when someone tries to email me an attachment (often a Word document), instead of the attachment that I am expecting I get a file called winmail.dat, which my computer doesn't recognise. Most attachments I get come through fine.

What I would like to know is what this is, and what advice I can give to people to sort it out so the correct attachment comes through. I suspect it is something to do with Windows.

I am using the latest version of Sea Monkey on a G4 Mac running the latest version of Mac Os X..
