Hello,

Over the last few years, I've been getting more and more mail
with attachments wrapped in "winmail.dat" files.  These are
files in a horribly proprietary format misnomered "Transport
Neutral Encapsulation Format", or TNEF for short, created by
Microsoft (who else?) in total disregard for the well-entrenched,
very well-documented MIME Internet standard that has been used
by the rest of the computing universe since the early '90s.

    <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Neutral_Encapsulation_Format>

As much as I personally despise TNEF, I'm getting tired of having
to use third-party tools to manually decode winmail.dat files, and
I'd rather my favorite mail client handled such decoding automatically.

So I'd like to respectfully ask CTM Dev to consider adding support
for automatic TNEF decoding to a future version of PowerMail.

It's not the data universe only, it's human conversation.
They want to turn it into a one-way flow that they have entirely
monetized. I look at the collective human mind as a kind of
ecosystem. They want to clear cut it. They want to go into the
rainforest of human thought and mow the thing down.
