It's a proprietary Microsoft "enhanced" text format (similar to HTML,
I believe).  You'll need an MS client to read it.  Since most people
using MS clients have TNEF generation turned on by default, they don't 
realize that they're sending out TNEF attachments.  Tell the sender
that they should use something more universally accepted, like plain
text (or worst case, HTML)
