Sam,
It's the same way reading Joe's posts in Pine, on
Linux or BSD. The reason you can't read winmail.dat
is because it's a binary file. It's produced by
Outlook, and determines how it's formatted emails
render to the receiver. Of course you need to use
micro$oft wares to actually use it. A great place
for malicious nasty to hide, IMO.
