Hi,

when one receives a message from an Outlook user in rich-text-format  
(RTF), all attachments are stored in a "winmail.dat" TNEF container.

IMP automatically decodes this container and shows the contained files  
while hiding the original winmail.dat attachment.

ActiveSync hides the winmail.dat file completely and does not show any  
attachment.
Attached you'll find an example message with a winmail.dat file.

We should either a) use the same decoder as IMP and show the  
attachments or b) show the winmail.dat file to the user.

In my particular case the user complained he can't see the winmail.dat  
file. Back when using Exchange+ActiveSync, he was able to open  
winmail.dat files using an app on his iOS device.

Cheers,
Thomas
