'tnef' files (Transport Neutral Encapsulation Format) are a MIME type
coming from Winders Outlook users. They tend to show up in Evolution as
'winmail.dat' attachments, which then require a tnef viewer such as tnef
or KTnef or similar to open and view:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/tnef

I do occasionally get this from co-workers and others who are on
Windows.

I can confirm that I have received at least one 'tnef' type attachment
in the past 48 hours, which came through to Evo without problem. These
would not normally be picked up as a virus/worm, etc. via scanners.
