I am familiar with Graphic Converter but as you say, it was not able to open this file.
However, I was able to resolve the problem by simply renaming the file as a jpeg. Strange though - I have never had somebody send me a photograph in the form of a .dat file before. Not sure how they managed to set it up as a .dat file. All I am aware of is that he took the photo with a digital camera and transferred it to his computer then e-mailed it. I am pretty sure he doesn't have a Mac though.
