The .dat extension does not designate any specific format. Many
applications create .dat files. They're usually but not always binary
data. In order to open such a file, you have to know what application
produced it.
 
If you're receiving a .dat file in an email, particularly winmail.dat, it's
possible that the sender was using Outlook's Rich Text format for their
message - they should resend using plain text or HTML. You can't open the
attachment.
