Jim could you please have a look at:

Microsoft doesn't even want winmail.dat attachments going out to the 
Internet (let alone the majority of people on a Linux mailing list), 
and it can be disabled by the sender.  The purpose of these attachments 
is entirely for internal email use where all recipients are known to be 
using Outlook.

I'm posting to the list for the benefit of the archives in case someone 
else starts sending these winmail.dat attachments to the list.
