If you look in the mailing list archives, you'll find that this is a
known issue. Latest word is that Jules is looking for someone to
provide him (on a webpage) with one of the TNEF attachments that make
the internal expander go "poof". To bad you didn't look there first,
or you could've been the one to give it to him;-).
Oh well... Next time, 'eh?
