Letter Opener extracts attachments from winmail.dat files (was OMiC). When using Apple Mail, if you've ever received an e-mail that included an attachment called winmail.dat, you know the frustration of not knowing what was sent to you. When this comes from an employer or client, it's even more frustrating. That winmail.dat file may only be the rich text format (RTF) version of the message you're already seeing as plain text, in which case all you're missing is formatting that may not be important. But the file could contain an important graphic,

Letter Opener extracts attachments from winmail.dat files (was OMiC). When using Apple Mail, if you've ever received an e-mail that included an attachment called winmail.dat, you know the frustration of not knowing what was sent to you. When this comes from an employer or client, it's even more frustrating. That winmail.dat file may only be the rich text format (RTF) version of the message you're already seeing as plain text, in which case all you're missing is formatting that may not be important. But the file could contain an important graphic, calendar entry or invitation, task, address book contact, Microsoft Outlook Note, or nested messages. In those cases, you may miss important communications.With Letter Opener in Apple Mail, the worry is gone. Letter Opener converts winmail.dat files on the fly, so you can actually see and use what the sender intended you to have. There's no fuss with Letter Opener, no need to drag the winmail.dat file onto another application or call upon several programs to help you. Once Letter Opener is installed, you can forget about it.

There is a cost to upgrade ($14.95) when a new OS comes out. With the frequency of new Mac OS rollouts this may seem prohibitive. In all fairness the developer has to rework the add-on for new versions and updates to mail.app, and I appreciate that he does so in a prompt fashion. In addition he offers a lifetime upgrade option, bringing the one time cost to $34.90, future-proofing Letter Opener. Considering that Lion itself is $29.99 I often hesitate to upgrade Letter Opener until I realize how much I miss it!

No information on the web site or the download on how to remove the plugin. It is not located in the Mail > Bundles folder and Spotlight can't find it. Where is it hidden and how do your remove it? Nothing again from the developer!
I give up on the app.

And with every new version of Mail this reverse engineering has do be done again. So the plug-in part has to be rewritten for every major OS update. That's the reason why this is a paid-upgrade.
In the Store you also find an "Lifetime Upgrade Option" which covers all new versions like 5.x, 6.x and so one.

but the upgrade price to make it compatible with Lion is more than double the purchase price of the 4 apps available at the Mac App store that do exactly the same job....
Not a great way to reward those of us who purchase shareware faithfully...
