The problem is, as I understand, that one can send an email as html,text  
and richtext. If you send the email as richtext, sometimes or maybe  
allways microsoft changes the annex in winmail.dat. To open this annex,  
one needs a plugin in mozilla. I read the howtos of tnef, but I was not  
succesfull in installing it. Is looks very complicated to me. Maybe Ktnef  
does it better? I just do not know how. Maybe I can find something on  
ktnef. Off course I can save it on the desktop and open it, but this looks  
for some clients to complicated, being spoiled by microsoft.
