Permission errors with extracted TNEF data

[Julian Field]

You were using an old version of MailScanner (probably just not the very 
latest betas), but yes, I have done quite a lot of work on the TNEF 
handling, and had forgotten in the latest revision to set all the 
permissions and ownerships. I have now fixed all of that, and it should 
now work as intended.

It will be in the next release.
