Description A mail-in database that extracts the contents of those pesky Winmail.dat files In Catalog
No


At times, e-mails you receive from users of Outlook/Exchange will be plain-text messages with a large attachment at the end called either "Winmail.dat" or "ATT0001.dat". The reason why this happens is described fairly well in Microsoft Technote 241538:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;q241538

However, you as a Lotus Notes user must now do something with that .dat file, especially if there are file attachments trapped inside. While there are stand-alone freeware and shareware applications that will read those files for you (as long as you save the file to your hard drive and perform some manual steps), this database is meant to be a mail-in database where users can simply forward their messages here and it will extract the files and send them back to the user. All you have to do is:

* Set this database up as a mail-in database on your Domino server
* Tell users to forward their Winmail.dat e-mails to this database
* The database will extract the files from Winmail.dat and send them back to the user

Please see the "Using This Database" document for information on how to set this database up properly.

The Winmail.dat/TNEF file extraction makes use of a wonderful open source and GPLed JTNEF library by Amichai Rothman. Please visit his site ( http://www.freeutils.net ) if you have any questions about the underlying TNEF conversion code, or the licensing of his library.


Projects can have short and readable URLs, e.g. http://mobilecontrols.openntf.org.

You can request a short URL to your project by sending a mail to support at openntf dot org. Put the word 'OpenNTF' somewhere in the subject.
Owners are the people with maximal rights. For example they can create releases and add more contributors.

In order to define multiple owners use "," (comma) as separator.

Because of data privacy you cannot lookup other people's names but you have to type them in.
Enter the contributors or owners here who you want to receive notifications and questions by email.

In order to define multiple owners use "," (comma) as separator.

In addition to the owners additional OpenNTF contributors have to be listed here. Contributors don't have the same access rights as owners, e.g. they cannot create releases.

Enter a short description of the project here (up to 100 characters).

The short description shows up in the project UI and in some of the views.
In this field you should enter a more detailed description of your project.

You can use the rich text editor for rich text formating. You can also enter HTML to embed objects, e.g. to embed a YouTube video or a screenshot of the project. In this case use '[' and ']' to mark the passthrough HTML as such.

Please note that the first time you use the new UI your description is converted from rich text to MIME. You might want to copy and paste the raw plain text from the old UI in the new UI so that you don't loose information.
A Catalog Release is for projects that are production ready and that are end-user "install friendly".
