Unfortunately, TNEF is a proprietary Microsoft format, and is the antithesis of interoperability.

Many/most people I talk to that allow RTF outbound to the Internet are blissfully unaware that things such as the user's domain username or path to pst file are included in clear text in the winmail.dat. It's too bad, because the TNEF format its self is more efficient than the various mime schemes. Maybe these security issues will be fixed someday. ~JasonG > -----Original Message----- > From: Michael B.
