Now two times I have received an attached file which was (as far as I know)
sent as a PDF file but I received a file with a "DAT" extension.

Could any one explain the above to me

I use Win XP Prop. and Outlook express

Thank you in advance

In all probability you have been sent the file by someone who is using
Outlook with the default mail format - Rich Text Format. Get them to change
their Mail format to either plain text or HTML and see if that helps.
