If you are using googles popular mail services GMail over IMAP and demand on winmail.dat files you will run into a problem.
GMail IMAP doesn’t return the senders original winmail.dat file, it return a home-cooked file which have only the name in common. In this case, not even Microsoft Outlook can handle the winmail.dat file.
I tried to contact google about this issue over many different ways, but didn’t get a answer.
There are two workarounds: Switch back to GMail POP3 or use GMail web interface to access mails with winmail.dat attachment.

thanks, i had no idea gmail was the problem, thanks for the help!
That’s so sad. Google should be open about this. Since they are generally pretty open about everything else.
oh… man!!! so GMail is not planning to look at this problem in the near future?
The GMail web interface works will on the iphone but have there been any other solutions since Aug 08?
Still no update on this issue …
Does the latest Letter Opener fix this issue?
Unfortunately Google has to fix this issue
