Can Evolution handle winmail.dat attachments from Microsoft mailers such
as: Outlook97, Outlook98 and Outlook2000+ ?

I have attached the description of the issue that most other mail
programs have with this type of an attachment.

> Mail programs in the Microsoft Exchange family, which includes Windows 
> Messaging, Outlook97, Outlook98 and Outlook2000+, will include a TNEF 
> (Transport Neutral Encapsulation Format) attachment named WINMAIL.DAT 
> when the sender selects, or defaults to, RTF (Rich Text Format). If the 
> sender is using MIME formatting, this attachment will have Content-Type: 
> application/ms-tnef.
> 
> The TNEF attachment includes a Rich Text Format (e.g. bold, underline, 
> fonts) version of the plain text message. If the sender has included any 
> attachments (e.g. pictures, spreadsheets, programs), they will be 
> embedded within the TNEF attachment and not as separate attachments.
> 
> Most other mail programs do not know how to handle the TNEF attachments 
> and so Exchange family users should avoid using RTF unless they know 
> that the recipient has a compatible program. The sender can control the 
> use of RTF on a recipient by recipient basis. However, if sending via a 
> Microsoft Exchange server, the server can override the sender's 
> settings. In this case the Exchange administrator will need to make 
> changes on the server.

Thank you in advance
