I received some pictures by mail in OL XP in .dat format. when I try to open
them, they open Notepad, which of course cannot be read.

Can you tell me how I can see them?

Thanks a lot

Thanks, but that doesn't work. They ask to download a file, but I get an
error message "cannot find source file" in a DOS windows. It appears to be a
UK specialty?

Another idea? Thanks in advance.

That's an email thing, not a picture format.

Talk to the sender - ask them to try to send the pictures again
