What is a .dat attachment file?

When sending emails using Microsoft Outlook with incorrect settings, .dat attachment files may appear in the received emails. This file is a formatted message wrapped using the TNEF standard owned by Microsoft, containing the original message content and attachment files. This file is not recognized by other mail software, therefore, Thunderbird cannot display the mail content and attached files correctly. If you try to open the .dat, you may be asked what software to use to open the file, since this file is in Outlook/Exchange format owned by Microsoft, you may not have software to open and view the contents. Even if your system can view the file contents, it doesn't see meaningful content. The sender (or system administrator) can prevent mail from being added to this file by setting an option as described in the Microsoft Support article below. Thunderbird plug-in LookOut, can unpack TNEF attachment files (.dat) and display the original attachment file in Thunderbird's window. This plugin is not provided or supported by Mozilla, nor is it certain that it will be compatible with future Thunderbird versions. The best solution is to contact the sender of the email and remind them that Outlook is not set up as suggested by Microsoft's documentation.

thunderbird filter for "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64"

Go to the Tools menu and select "Message Filters". Click on "new" and under "match all of the following" click on the select box that says "Subject" and select "Customise ..." and enter "Content-Type". Click "Add" and then OK.

Now in the select box you will have "Content-Type" as an option and you can make the condition "is" and put "text/html; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64" in the text box.

However other emails will almost certainly have the same header, so you want to look for other things from the email that can narrow it down further. Maybe the User-Agent or something else.

And even once you've got a fairly narrow filter be sure to check your spam folder regularly for a while to see if you are catching any good emails.

Personally I've had a pretty good experience with just marking messages as spam and having Thunderbird learn to recognize the spam. To do this, go into "Account Settings", select "Junk Settings" and tick the box next to "Enable Adaptive junk mail controls for this account".

呢part唔係教點樣view到, 而係加個filter將啲email送去某個folder.
