Summary: Java TNEF package
Description:
The Java TNEF package is an open source code implementation of a TNEF message handler, which can be used as a command-line utility or integrated into Java- based mail applications to extract the original message content. Transport-Neutral Encapsulation Format (TNEF) is Microsoft's non-standard format for encapsulating mail which has any non-plain-text content or properties (such as rich text, embedded OLE objects, voting buttons, and sometimes just attachments). Whether or not a given message is encoded using TNEF is determined by the Outlook default settings, per-recipient setting, Exchange Server settings, and message type and content. Once a TNEF message is used, the entire message, including all the original attachments and properties, is encapsulated in a single attachment of mime type "application/ms-tnef" added to the message to be sent over the Internet. This attachment is usually named "WINMAIL.DAT", and when sent to any non-MS mail client, is useless, and makes access to the original message attachments impossible.
