Features & Capabilities

Winmail.dat Opener is a free Chrome extension that registers as a handler for .dat files and lets you open winmail.dat attachments right from your email apps. When you tap a winmail.dat attachment, the extension launches and reveals the files inside. You can preview each item, save it to your device, resend, or print a selected file. Extraction happens on your device and does not require an internet connection.

This extension is ad-supported and asks for Internet access for ads, even though the actual extraction workflow is offline. There is an optional in-app purchase to remove ads. Not every file ending in .dat is a winmail.dat, so please confirm the file type if you encounter issues. The app is free to use with no required purchases for core functionality.

I have had this problem of not being able to open winmail.dat files for some time now on my iPhone 6. This program works great. Now I can see what I have been missing. Thank you.
