Extract winmail.dat info not attachments

452 views Asked by At

I have been using TNEF for some time to extract attachments from RTF emails sent by Outlook, but I was wondering is there a way to extract the information about additional information contained within?

To be more precise I am talking about the Voting Buttons and anything else it might contain?

I know this is a old question, but this answer might be helpful for some new users.

We could extract the rich text (Voting buttons, image resize widgets which are part of email body ..etc) from winmail.dat using the Linux command line tool TNEF.

TNEF Tool

tnef -w --save-body winmail.dat Then it will fetch the email body into file message.html, if we give the option yes or y extract message.html?

Hope this helps for some one new to TNEF format and winmail.dat
