Oh no!  Not winmail.dat ! ! !

Ha, ha!  Another wonderful M$Windoze formating wrapper, only created
and read  by their M$Outlook client.  The winmail.dat file is in a
M$Windoze format called "Transport-Neutral Encapsulation Format", or
"MS-TNEF", some details on this format can be found at

On the other hand, there's a couple of converters out there for
different platforms (there's even one for Psion Epoc!), but the one
you could try in Linux is:
