winmail dot dat
"Winmail.dat files are created when Outlook, which sends mail by default as HTML,
sends to a device with a native Apple Mail app (iPhones, Macs, and such). Apple
mail does not have an ability to read HTML, so what does it do but convert it
into another format, Rich-text. Upon converting to Rich-text, the attachment is
converted from whatever wholsome filetype it was into the dreaded werebeast that
is winmail.dat."
