Can you send me a sample email that contains such a winmail.dat file (please provide that sample without any sensitive data). I will look at the issue then.

as i have an email with winmail.dat file which contains sensitive data that i cannot send, and the ConvertWinmailDat package installed in My OTRS.
So i have uninstalled the package and sent the test mail to the otrs but its still converting the dat into eml file and data also being manipulated .

So i cannot send the winmail.dat file.

please provide a solution :)

Configure your Exchange correctly so it will not send out Winmail.dat files....
"Production": OTRS™ 8, OTRS™ 7, STORM powered by OTRS
"Testing": ((OTRS Community Edition)) and git Master

winmail.dat is a proprietary format of Microsoft. So check your process not to forward this kind of files, just the content you need
