Hi David,
On 11 February 2000 at 13:51:48 GMT +0000 (which was 13:51 where I
live) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote and made these points:
DE> I am starting to receive emails with attachments with a MIME type
DE> of application/ms-tnef.
DE> What is this type? (apart from a devious Microsoft plot)
DE> Are there any tools for reading these attachments under Linux?
DE> Can some one either tell me what it is or where to look.
>From the Netscape web site:
