It works even though it is a bit cumbersome
cpschroederJanuary 24, 2013
Pros
It allowed me to open a win.dat. I had suffered for years. It was free.
Cons
It is a bit cumbersome. I had to click a lot. Save the PDF which was sent as .dat. Go to finder, then open it. However, that effort beats not being able to get PDF's from outlook users.
Summary
Great Product, Does what it says

Pros
Fast, Quick and easy
Cons
no complaints
Summary
I don't need it too often, but it is important to have it there for when I do need it. It is a shame that companies (like Microsoft ) have to make proprietary programs that don't 'play' well with others
Very handy

Pros
It opens the .dat file, but doesn't open the sub files.
Cons
You can't drag the files out of the window to see the jpg
Summary
Why should I have to deal with .dat files. If Windows mail programs were set-up correctly, these wouldn't be sent in email.
Works as described.

Pros
It does get the job done.
Cons
Very bare bones. Assigns single letter name to contents of an attachment. User has to manually assign a name to the enclosed files in the order in which they are listed.
Summary
Wish I didn't have to deal with winmail.dat files at all, but for now I appreciate having TNEF's Enough around.
I hate m-soft and \"exhcange\", but thanks t...

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />easy to install, and worked really well. But that said, I did receive one file I couldn't translate, and I also had to quit the program, and try a few times for some of them. Still, a very useful little app. and i'm not a computer pro. thanks!

Developer’s Description

Read "winmail.dat" files and extract embedded attachments.

TNEF's Enough allows Macs to read and extract files from Microsoft TNEF stream files. The files are usually received via email from Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft Outlook users. You will usually receive an attachment named "winmail.dat." If someone has even sent you a message or file and all you have received is a "winmail.dat" file then you need TNEF's Enough to open it and extract the embedded file.
