how do I convert winmail.dat file so i can read it?

What I found was you telling people that it has been asked and answered already, or others' information on how to tell the sender to send in plain text. Neither one of those answers helped me. What I finally found out while digging all by myself, before I finally asked the question in case this one single comment that no one else ever mentioned, was:

The easiest way to read a winmail.dat file is to pick it up directly in Gmail.

Couldn't you have maybe mentioned that? And, maybe listed a few apps for the MAC that would convert it? I never saw a useful answer from you.

Funny, I was sure I was supposed to be careful opening applications from unknown sources. I figured the Apple site would be safer.

The real problem here is that I still can not find anything useful from you in reply to this question when, in your own words, it "has been asked and answered dozens of times already." How about a simple link to an application that works and is trusted.

Thank you Kappy. You Rock !!!

Templeton, Your arrogance is not pretty. Take note from Kappy. Now, HE HELPED !!

Also, If you read my e-mail correctly, I did an extensive search. Please read emails carefully before cutting people down. That is simply not nice.

Again, please read my email. Searching is how I found the comment about using Gmail. I asked anyway because I was hoping for something just like Kappy sent. Now, he knows how to answer a simple question. No wonder he is a level 10 and you are just a 9. Being condescending to others is not what people should get when they ask a question on the forum. It is obvious that they are seeking help from the kind people that answer us. I have had Macs and iPhones and iPads for many years, and this is the very first question I ever asked. I had to even pick a user name. Therefore, I feel that I have been pretty self reliant. If you have a problem with people asking questions that you don't approve, maybe you shouldn't be here answering them. You obviously have forced negativity into my day, and there is simply no reason for that. Please be kinder to people, or simply keep quiet so as not to remind people that there are people like you out there.

To Templeton,

I'm sorry. You are right. I am doing exactly what I was blaming him for doing. I should not have kept the negativity going. I hope you both will forgive me.
