Please try the attached patch for TNEF.pm. There is a bug in the  
directory permissions set by the Convert::TNEF module on its  
temporary directory. It fails when it cannot find any files in the  
TNEF archive when it is run as a user other than root. So Postfix and  
Exim users may see this problem.
