How to open a DAT file??

I'm in the process of buying a new Bongo bus and the place where I'm looking to buy one have sent me a list to look at. However, the file is a winmail.dat file and I can't open it.
It tries to open in Wordperfect but then fails to start. I've copied it onto my desktop and opened it with Open Office but I just get 32 pages of random symbols.
Help??

You have to print all 32 pages, lay them on the floor in the order they were printed. Get a step ladder, go right to the top and look down…you will see a picture of a bongo bus

a winmail.dat file is a screwed up attachment.

Download WMDecode from http://www.biblet.freeserve.co.uk/ and it'll sort it for you.
