Forward me an example. Sometimes - though rare - the person sending you the email in RTF format from a corporate email server will cause the attachment to get stripped and show up as a dat file. Haven't seen this in a while though.

I just replied and they were fine but see if you can read them now.

The other option, for bleeps and giggles is to reinstall Adobe Reader, just in case it is not installed - reinstall Adobe. Adobe - Adobe Reader download - All versions

You could also use google docs, I have no issue opening stuff in my gmail.

I have the same problem at work. I never heard of a dat file. I will look into it now.
