Outlook will generate TNEF attachments if it is talking to an Exchange
server and thinks that the message is going to be delivered locally. There
is not a lot that you can do about this, though I think there is a setting
within the Exchange addressbook that you can set to tell it to not do
this.  TNEF attachments are a real royal pain. They encapsulate within
them MIME attachments and other rich-text information for the display of
the message. There are some TNEF extraction tools available but none will
work very well within a web application such as IMP. I suspect this is the
problem you are seeing.
