Essentially yes. MS-TNEF files can also include the RTF markup for the
mail message itself and other meta-data about the message. Sometimes
that is all that the file contains.
Over the years maintaining my tnef program (tnef.sourceforge.net) I have
gotten semi-regular emails from people asking me why my application
didn't do anything with their attachment. It always resolves to the
fact that it contains nothing but the markup.
Probably the markup is not of particular interest to a GNUS user so it
is fine to ignore it - just wanted to point out that some of them may
appear 'empty'.
Ciao
