I have been sent a thing as part of a mime email that is a doc in format ms-tnef -- does anyone have a suggestion as to how best to read it?

Evolution will read mails encoded in tnef format,

Sorry to bring up this old one, I was sent an attachment described by Evolution as

application/ms-tnef attachment (winmail.dat)

From the contents I can see that it is a mail message (forwarded "as

attachment") containing a Powerpoint file. How do I persuade Evolution that this is a mail and that it should open it as such?

Thanks Hans

Hans,

install the rpm "tnef" and hopefully evolution will automatically show the contents of your attachment...

Thanks Richard,

After playing around quite a bit and re-mailing both the mail and the offending attachment to myself to have Evolution reprocess them, the best I got was a "MPEG video attachment (winmail.dat)" which it isn't is.

But playing around with the tnef commandline util helped

Thanks
