Those are files sent from the Windows version of Outlook. If you receive them on a regular basis you might want to use "Letter Opener" a shareware application that will convert them for you.

Winmail.dat files come from those Microsoft Outlook or Exchange programs and are some sort of archive method.
Somewhere in outlook they get automatically created when forwarding email messages and Mac users have long wondered what they are and how to open them.

Go here...Josh Jacob - TNEF's Enough this app will open the attachments.

Next time it would be nice to actually read a question, this looks more like a Terminal command :)
Please try to add what Mac you're using and what OS version.
