The .dat file type is a data file in the Transport Neutral Encapsulation Format (TNEF). This file type is commonly used by Microsoft Outlook and Exchange to encode email attachments, and contains the message body, subject, and other email properties.
An MD file is a text file created using one of several possible dialects of the Markdown language. It is saved in plain text format but includes inline text symbols that define how to format the text (e.g., bold, indentations, headers, table formatting). MD files are designed for authoring plain text documentation that can be easily converted to HTML.
