Sample files

winmail.dat and .msg files to try in Lettrette

Download

All the files in one archive, with the batch export folder:

Every person, address and message in these files is made up: the addresses are at example.com, example.org and example.net, which exist for examples only. The files were written by Lettrette's own test tools, not by a mail program, and contain no real mail.

How to open them

On the Mac

Choose File › Open… in Lettrette, or click Open… in its welcome window, and pick a file. You can also drop files on the welcome window.
Or select a file in Finder and press Space to see it with Quick Look (turn on Lettrette's Quick Look extension first, in System Settings › General › Login Items & Extensions › Quick Look).
For batch export, choose File › Batch Export…, add the batch-export folder, pick EML, PDF or Attachments, and click Export.

On iPhone and iPad

Tap a file below and save it to Files (or save the archive and tap it in Files to unzip it).
In Lettrette, tap Open… and pick the file; or tap the file in Files, then the Share button, and choose Lettrette.
