The winfile.dat attachment you sometimes get in e-mails is a proprietary
e-mail attachment format used in Microsoft Outlook. The format goes by the
name Transport Neutral Encapsulation Format (TNEF) and can be extracted by a
program by the same name on Linux.
$ aptitude install tnef
To extract the contents of a TNEF file, simply run:
$ tnef winfile.dat
This will extract the content of the TNEF archine into the current directory, so you might want to create a folder first.
