This is one case where being in a company with two sites, each using a
*different* nasty proprietary platform, is quite nice - they *have to*
use reasonably open standards to talk to each other!

For the record, once site uses Domino/Notes, while the other uses
Exchange/Outlook - and the Notes users complained loudly enough about
TNEF attachments that I managed to educate the (important) Outlook
users, and the Exchange admin, as to why TNEF was evil and undesirable
:-)

Cheers
