Sadly, you are. "winmail.dat" is file attached to email by Microsoft 
Outlook/Entourage. Not an evil thing, just non-standard useless to all 
email systems save one. A standard attachment would be a vCard.

So, as always, when you use Microsoft products you get more and less 
than you bargained for.
