 |TNEF = a vcard sort of thing used by Outhouse Useless (oh sorry - outlook
 |express) and other similar brokenware mail clients.

doesn't look like a vcard .. its almost 2k in size!! (ofcourse knowing M$ 
they are capable of such bloat.. but it also contains stuff like..

C:\WINDOWS\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\mailbox.pst
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
PSTPRX.DLL
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
DEARSIR,WEHAVERECEIVEDALOTOFMAILSFROMYOURSIDEBUTTHEYAREALWAYSBLANKMAILSKINDLYTRYMAILINGUSFROMANOTHER
SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
LZFu

(lines taken from output of "strings -a" not in any particular order.)

Looks like even their vcard thingie is capable of containing viruses.(Does 
verdana contain anything holes ?? ;-)
