In order to facilitate the data conversion and access to winmail.dat files, Christopher Atlan created Letter Opener Lite, a smart Mac utility that helps users to browse the content of winmail.dat files without leaving the Mail application.
After the installation is complete, individuals need to access the program from the bar menu. The GUI looks minimalistic and doesn't let users perform additional configurations. Yes, the memory usage is low, but the program lacks small graphical touches.
As per its embedded features, Letter Opener Lite provides users the ability to quickly view the contents of a winmail.dat, XPS, or MSG file. It is also capable of converting Microsoft XPS documents to Adobe PDF files.
Additionally, individuals can open winmail.dat and MSG files and convert Microsoft Outlook appointments, notes, or contacts to MacOS native formats. It must be mentioned that the program provides support for multiple languages, such as Chinese, Dutch, French, German, Japanese, Spanish, or Portuguese.
In conclusion, Letter Opener Lite is a software program useful to use when having to open and explore the content of winmail.dat files. Though it's free, some add-ons are only available for 14 days. If you want full access to them, you must pay a subscription.
