[KLUG Members] winmail.dat and tnef

[bill]

Received an email attachment today called winmail.dat.  It had two
attachments in it.  

Apparently MS has Outlook merge attachments together in its own format,
assuming the rest of the world uses Outlook too.  Anybody surprised?

Googling around I found a program called tnef
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/tnef/) that seems to have opened it up
pretty well (Open Office could upen the MS-Word doc and a CSV file
without problem).

I always ignored winmail.dat files before.  Anybody else have other
suggestions, recommendations, on dealing with winmail.dat files?

kind regards,

bill
