Problem With File Attach .dat
 

I would just delete the dat file and ask the sender to resend the message
using Plain Text with encoding set to MIME-None. It could be malformed code
or it could be a virus and not worth playing with. And if it's from a
sender you don't know, I would just consider it as worthless SPAM.

Save it to disk and rename it to: "438.jpg".

Problem With File Attach .dat
 

I have tried save as .jpg but not it works

Problem With File Attach .dat
 

That's a JPG attachment. That should not show as .DAT in OE. Was there
perhaps another attachment in the message, possibly further down in the
message?

And is that openable by OE?

Not encrypted. Encoded. Base64.

There is an important detail which you are missing from your above
extract: is there a matching content separator at the bottom of it?
E.g. if this .dat file represents only a piece of an E-mail it's possible
that the rest of the image never arrived. In that case I think that both
IE and OE would represent the image by a Red-X.

BTW it may help if you told us how you got this .dat file.
Usually it is the sender who receives .dat files like that
with non-deliverable E-mail. Does it look like it could be
part of something you sent? If not, I suppose it could
also be something that somebody else tried to send to you
which was truncated and then enveloped in the same way
to signal that its transmission wasn't complete.
