These are TNEF stream files, encoded by Microsoft Exchange mail servers or Microsoft Outlook mail clients on Windows.
TNEF's Enough for the Mac (a Carbonized app) will decode them, in my experience. <http://www.joshjacob.com/macdev/tnef/> From the TNEF's Enough Web page: "The file is a rich text (or MAPI) message that is sent from Outlook to Exchange. When Exchange sends the message to an outside server it writes the MAPI message as a MIME attachment. The unfortunate side effect of this plan is if the Outlook user has someone in their address book as a person who can receive 'Rich Text' then the user will receive the TNEF file whether the user uses Outlook or not."
