Be prepared to answer the following question: > >>> "why did your tnef-unpacker not do anything with my winmail.dat file?!" > > What's the best way to answer it? I explain how to use tnef to list the files inside; and how some winmail.dat files have no files at all in them. I might also explain how to use its --debug and --verbose switches to double check. I also usually ask for a copy of the file and I verify that there was nothing in it (in case it is a example of something I don't currently handle). Ciao Mark
