I'm guessing hte source was Outlook and you do not Outlook that on your Mac. To view the file they will need to resend in a non-RTF format or you'll need a winmail.dat reader. The latter is possible but more of a pain. If you use full Outlook, not Outlook Express you should be able to read the attachment and it shouldn't be seen as a winmail.dat.
