Andre updated NIFI-2380:
------------------------
    Description: 
during the review of NIFI-1899 Dan Marshall highlighted some use cases for 
email processing that have not been addressed as part of the initial 
development cycle.

One of these use cases was the decoding of Microsoft Transport Neutral Encoding 
Files (TNEF). 

This type of attachments is popularly know as winmail.dat and uses a non RFC 
compliant structure to transfer attachments across different Microsoft Outlook 
clients.

Given the prevalence of outlook and the issues with winmail.dat files, it would 
be nice to be able to decode TNEF as we currently do with MIME attachments.
