WinMail V1.01 Extract Attachments from Outlook RTF Messages By Steve Beadle steve_beadle@iee.org http://www.biblet.freeserve.co.uk What does it do? This program is a utility you can use in conjunction with the Psion/Symbian e-mail program. When you receive a message from a user who has 'mistakenly' sent you a message in Outlook RTF format, you will receive the normal message text along with an attached file named 'winmail.dat'. Strictly speaking it's not a Word rich text file and you can't use Word to read it. This winmail.dat file contains a formatted version of the message (which this program ignores) and any attached files. Save the winmail.dat file to any folder and then run this program. It will scan the selected winmail.dat file for attachments and prompt you to save them individually, defaulting to the original (long) filename. Installation To install WinMail run the SIS file. WinMail should then appear as an Extras icon. How does it work? It works by scanning the winmail.dat file for byte sequences associated with attached files. As I have found no published information on the file format, I have 'worked it out' by example. Consequently there are no guarantees that all attachments will be interpreted correctly. If you find a problem please email me an example and I will try to revise the program. Copyright This program has been written and is owned by Steve Beadle.
