Winmail.dat files in Email

[Robert Meyer]

I figgered out a temp solution for now.  I downloaded 'tnef' from freshmeat and
deconvolved the attachment and got it to the guy that needed it.

It would be nice if there was a way to add that support to things like Eudora,
squirrelmail (probably easier) and Evolution.

Cheers!

Bob
