TNEF loop infinite loop problem?

[Christiaan den Besten]

This is a 'known' issue that has been reported before ... but has never been fixed unfortunately. Switching to internal tnef does 'fix it' ... If you can call it a fix :)

bye,
Chris

  Yes it happens,

  In my case I was getting problem while using internal TNEF, I then used to solve the problem 
  TNEF Expander = /usr/bin/tnef --maxsize=100000000

    Yes, I've seen it, what you can do is try using the internal tnef expander.
