TNEF wish list

We are receiving more TNEF junk all the time even though most of our users don't
use Outlook and so can't deal with it (we mostly use Pegasus mail).  The only time
this causes a problem is when the receiver is expecting a file attachment and it is
wrapped up in the "winmail.dat" mess in such a way that they can't get at it.

Since MailScanner knows how to decode TNEF, would it be possible for MailScanner
to extract real files and re-attach them in a standard sort of way?  Or is there another
server-based way of doing this?
