What is a .ATT file?
The file extension .ATT is associated with Alphacam Lathe Tool File, but it is also commonly used to represent files created by web forms. When a user fills out a form on a website and submits it, the information they entered can be saved into a file with the .ATT extension. This file contains the data from the web form and is usually sent via email to the person or organization that needs the information. The file is often named postdata.att and comes attached to an email.
To open an .ATT file that comes from a web form, you can use simple text editing programs. Microsoft Notepad, which is included with most operating systems, can open these files. Alternatively, any other text editor you have can also be used to view and edit .ATT files.
It's important to note that sometimes these .ATT files are created because of a mistake in how the web form is set up. Specifically, if the form's encoding type is set to "text" when it should be "text/plain," the submitted form data gets saved as an .ATT file instead of being directly processed. This is why these files are often seen in emails related to web forms.
