In fact when you open it, you see a _message_having_blank_textual_part, but 
_containing_an_attachment_. Please ensure (in the message viewer!) that you 
have "show attachments automatically" or "always" ticked.

The MIME structure of such messages is: a message, to which another 
message is MIME-attached, this last message having an empty textual part 
and one or more attachments. It's insane structure all right, but M$ mailers are 
made by idiots, always remember this;-)

P.S. My apologies Marck, but this specific case has nothing to do with ms-
tnefs. It's another (although sad also) problem...
P.P.S. This is my last message to TBUDL for (at least:-)) the next 3 weeks, I'm 
temporarily desactivating my subscription since I'm leaving St.Pb tomorrow. 
See ya, guys;-)
