Same thing here.  No message text, just a winmail.dat file that I can't
read.

From memory I seem to remember the cause being the way some sites/users
have Microsoft mail (Outlook, etc.) configured.  And yes, there have been a
few messages showing up recently with a .vcf attachment which, like the
.dat files, I can't read.

For more information on the winmail.dat file problem, check the list archives.
