hi all,

I noticed very strange attachment named "winmail.dat" attached to some 
emails addressed to this ML.
I am sure, it's M$hit "invention", but can I use it for something ? 
(Extract some spy info, probably - am I right ?)
If not, why are u (windblowz users) sending that piece of crap to linux 
  ML ? Just to waste space, download time etc. ?

noro


PS.
This is the last email with winmail.dat included:

although i have /dev/input/mice - if i cat it and move the usb mouse - =
it displays an output.
if i move the nipple or use the touchpad - i get nothing, so assume that =
it will not work in the way i would like it to....

thanks in advance for the help.
