Just put

application/ms-tnef; tnef2txt %s; copiousoutput

in your ~/.mailcap and it should work (ie you can browse the nonsense

Attachment extraction aren't automatic though, perhaps a tnef-mode
similar to tar-mode could be written?  I've only received one of
theese, so I guess they are rare anyway.
