The winmail.dat file is m$ electronic business card. So far nobody has
come up with any exploit to ruin the address book. It contains extended
information allowing a person to transmit complete contact information for
the event that another winblows user adds them to the address book.
Generally when m$ uses the extension .dat it is a bianary format that uses
a tree structure for storage. For more complete information look up
information on the format of the registry. That is the largest example of
the format. HAving said this, it doesn't always hold true.
