The information in this video is wrong. The problem happens with both RTF and HTML. The only work around is to use Plain Text. I consider this an android/gmail problem. If they can’t deal with HTML than they have issues.
The file you uploaded does not seem to be a valid winmail.dat (TNEF) file. There are quite a few other file types with a.dat suffix. This service can open only the winmail.dat files.
Thank You, this was helpful to me. I just wanted to post a comment because it fixed my issue a few weeks ago but I had to reinstall outlook today and this time, nothing I tried worked. I had to remove the account through control panel/mail/email accounts, re-add it and then it worked for me (along with the settings change). Just wanted to post in case someone else also had the same issue.
Friends this is the solution for any Outlook, DO NOT send attachments like winmail.dat: I have done it and it has worked perfectly for me. (I am not responsible for the manipulation of your registration)
To prevent Outlook 2010 from sending the Winmail.dat file Follow these steps: (Add the DisableTNEF registry entry.) For this, follow these steps: Exit Outlook 2010. Start the Registry Editor. («Regedit») Before manipulating the Registry, it is very important to make a backup, just in case (File_Export…) Locate the following registry subkey and select it: HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Office \ 14.0 \ Outlook \ Preferences On the Edit menu, select New and click DWORD Value. Type DisableTNEF and then press ENTER. Right click on DisableTNEF and then click on Modify. In the Value data box, type 1 and click OK. Close the Registry Editor. Restart the computer.
I only have trouble when I send mail from my work (Outlook desk app) to my home e-mail (also Outlook desk app). Both are set up with HTML. I’m getting around this by using the cloud and just dragging and dropping to my home, but I also lose images sent within an e-mail in addition to the winmail.dat attachments. Any other options? Others from my work can send me e-mails with images and attachments that I can access, but I can’t.

Hey Gordon, thanks much. There are quite a few how-to’s on this issue (which bugs me that it is even a thing!) and want to let you know that all of the others I’ve run across so far have not gone the extra steps which you describe. So, anyway, thanks again.
Tried above method but getting this error «The file you uploaded does not seem to be a valid winmail.dat (TNEF) file. There are quite a few other file types with a.dat suffix. This service can open only the winmail.dat files»
Excellent, thank you very much… I had been receiving email with attachments on my MacBook Pro from my work PC and then all of a sudden they were coming through as the winmail.dat….. we had switched providers… once I cleared the ‘Empty Auto-Complete List’… you are AWESOME… Thank you again..
It did not work for me, I am trying to open a.dat file that was dowloaded from this website https://www.physionet.org/content/mitdb/1.0.0/100.dat, But when i open this file in notepad it dose not make sense Please leave a comment if anyone has idea about it. Thank you in advance.
Thanks for the video. This was my result after following your advice: The file you uploaded does not seem to be a valid winmail.dat (TNEF) file. There are quite a few other file types with a.dat suffix. This service can open only the winmail.dat files.
Gordon — I have been struggling with this issue for a long time when I send my wife photo attachments for her IPad mini. I read a variety of solutions, but they never worked. I followed your video and still the attachments did not come through until I came to the part on the «Auto-complete». That made sense, so I deleted all the autocomplete email addresses, re-entered them and now my wife is happy as she is getting the photos I send to everyone else. Thanks for a great explanation — my wife says thanks also:)
this guy talk bullshit. he have a picture with jpg format. he changed extension from jpg to dat. no doubt why this video has 129 dislike. fuck that if you think you can open dat. how about you open this file for me. I got a game and there is a file called CG.dat (129mb) yeah go ahead and open the fuck up. CG.dat (129MB) it’s like a zip or rar file and need a tool to extract/undat it. inside that folder there must be a bunch of CGs.jpg or png
