Another really cool thing about the next Notes client

I forgot all about this until today.

The next Notes client is going to have built-in support for Microsoft TNEF files (winmail.dat.) I used to admin Exchange, so I know how easy it is to ensure that outgoing mail is in HTML rather than TNEF, so it always pisses me off when one of my Notes users gets a damn winmail.dat file.

It happens all the time too, from big multi-nationals too. Ugh. It’s always fun explaining that the winmail.dat is due to stupid admins and/or users. Grrrrrrrr….

Dunno if this will be native, so the conversion isn’t even seen, or if it’ll just be a viewer. But either way, it’s welcome.
