How do I convert a winmail.dat file back to it's original pdf format? I was emailed a pdf file via Apple Mail and it came over from sender as a winmail.dat file. I'm running macOS Big Sur ver. 11.6 on my MacBook Pro. How do I convert the winmail.dat file back to it's original pdf format? I tried downloading Adobe Reader but when doing so, it basically takes over my Preview program and attempts to convert all my saved .pdf files on my MacBook to some sort of an Adobe file so that's not a solution I'm interested in.

Right click the file and select Open With and the apps that are there will open it. I'd use TextEdit to open it. Please remember .dat files are usually a problem from the sender, something like an attachment that has some type of issue.
