Except that the TNEF data should show up as an attachment (albeit as an 
octet-stream part that is useless) - his description seemed to indicate 
that he wasn't seeing any attachments at all.  If it is the former, 
then the TNEF viewer should be able to decode these parts for him - the 
TNEF viewer has been around since IMP 4.0/Horde 3.0 and has been 
improved for the upcoming 3.0.5 release.
