So, what is the MS-TNEF attachment?  Why is it called an application?
What causes it to be sent?  Is it necessary?  If not, how can it be
avoided?

Thanks,
Barry

Apparently Microsoft Exchange Mail Clients put attachments in a file
called "WINMAIL.DAT".  They are in tnef format.  Here is a link to a WWW
page that explains this in more detail and tells a Microsoft Exchange user
how to send an attachment without encoding it into TNEF format:
