Problem was with MTA's the use non-root users for their job (ie postfix,
exim etc), and the temporary files created were the wrong owner.

The latest stable should have the patch for this

> Hello all,
> 
> I sometimes get "Corrupt TNEF winmail.dat that cannot be analysed" using
> the internal TNEF decoder.  I have seen others have problems with it
> lately and switching to the external decoder.
> 
> If MS was modified to try both decoders if and only if the first one
> can't parse the TNEF file, would it be interesting for people?
> 
> The settings could be changed to something like:
> TNEF Expander = internal external   (or any combination of these 2)
> External TNEF Expander = /usr/bin/tnef --maxsize=100000000
> 
> I would like to use "internal external" because the internal one is
> faster but I would like to fall back to the external one if there was a
> problem with the expansion of the winmail.dat file.
