How do I open an ext file?

You need a suitable software like E-mail Text Attachment to open an EXT file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message “How do you want to open this file?” (Windows 10) or “Windows cannot open this file” (Windows 7) or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert.

How do you open a file that doesn’t have an extension?

To open the file you can double-click on it and choose the application to open it. That can be cumbersome. A better method is to save the file to a temporary folder and rename the file to add a file extension. Then try opening the file with that extension.
