A problem with the internal TNEF decoder has come to light recently. For 
new installations, I have changed the TNEF Expander to the external one, 
to stop new users hitting this problem.

I have as yet been unable to get hold of a TNEF message that exhibits 
this problem, no-one has kept any. If you have one that you can put on a 
website for me to copy, that would be very helpful.
