Look at gtnef module in gnome-cvs.  It currently only really handles
file attachments because I haven't had the time to decode the mapi
attributes for things like contacts.  If anyone has tnef attachments
with contact info that they can share, send them to me and if I find the
time I'll try to make them do something useful.  No promises that I can
find the time though.

gtnef works just fine inline in evolution.
