+TNEF is a program for unpacking MIME attachments of type
+"application/ms-tnef". This is a Microsoft only attachment. Due to the
+proliferation of Microsoft Outlook and Exchange mail servers, more and
+more mail is encapsulated into this format. The TNEF program allows
+one to unpack the attachments which were encapsulated into the TNEF
+attachment, thus alleviating the need to use Microsoft Outlook to view
+the attachment.
