RE: [Evolution] Evolution TNEF support

["Justin Finkelstein" <justin redwiredesign com>]

Ah, ok. That'll explain why the the project stopped being worked on.

So: I reckon that it'd be worthwhile starting on one then. I was going to
have a crack at it last weekend but didn't get a chance, so I'll see if I
can knock something up :)

NotZed no longer works for Novell, he quit 4 or 5 months ago.

TNEF would definitely be a worthy plugin for Evolution to have, but I'm
unaware of anyone working on it currently.
