RE: [Evolution] [Fwd: Accepted: Philidelpia's with John Mcinnes]

["David Luyer" <david luyer net>]

Shouldn't the tnef's be recognised if there's a mailcap entry
(eg, Debian with the 'tnef' package installed)?

application/ms-tnef; /usr/bin/tnef -w -f '%s'; needsterminal;
description=Microsoft's Exchange Encapsulation; nametemplate=%s.data

Although a problem is that the tnef files then in turn
may contain multiple files which have their mime types
specified inside the tnef file itself.

Our PABX prefers to e-mail us our voicemail in tnef format,
fortunately it was an easy config change to get WAV format :-)
[although then some functionality is lost if listening to
the voicemail under Windows, as the tnef functionality is
lost]
