Here’s another one for readers who have to live in a Windows world. (You may also like DoubleCommand, WinShortcutter, Remote Desktop, and Konfabulator.)

Sometimes when Windows users send you an email attachment, instead of finding the PDF document or Excel spreadsheet, you may find you’ve received a file called “winmail.dat”. This means the file you intended to receive was encoded in TNEF format — Transport Neutral Encapsulation Format — an ironic name for a proprietary Microsoft technology that makes it a hassle to receive attachments from some Window users.

Josh Jacob’s app TNEF’s Enough takes away the hassle. If you ever receive a “winmail.dat” file from a Windows user, use this app to decode it and get the file you expected.
