Open Attachment Winmail.dat in Mail App

This is quite annoying issue. I frequently receive emails from Windows platform with attachment. The attachment file is displayed as Winmail.dat file in Mail on Mac side. The dat extension name cannot be correctly identified on Mac.

Further search on web, I realize that this is a command issue. Today I found a simple solution to get the issue resolved. What I need is an app called TNEF's Enough. This is a free app and now available in App Store.

With this app, open the saved attachment file Winmail.dat. It will reveal the type of file hidden within the dat. Double click will prompt a Window to save the revealed file.
