Tony,
Thanks for that. The Mail.app "plug-in" works a dream.

I have a client from whom I receive many emails from numerous

there's nothing she can do to fix the issue (I suspect the problem
is that it's a long way down her list of things to do), but surely
it's simply that this one guy has his email client (Outlook I
think) set up to encode attachments differently. So does anybody
know what Outlook preferences I should ask him to tweak?
Phil,
Take a look at
OMiC: Plugin to extract winmail.dat files. Sooner or later, all
Mail.app users who have any kind of email communication with
Outlook users will get a message containing the dreaded unopenable
winmail.dat file. A utility called TNEF's Enough can extracts the
file buried inside. It can really save your bacon. Now a developer
has wrapped the utility into a Mail.app bundle which automatically
recognises incoming emails with winmail.dat attachments. Shareware
(5 euros = USD 6.30).
http://www.restoroot.org/OMiC/en/index.php has a video that shows
how it works.
Regards,
Tony
