Microsoft Exchange mail client stores it's rich-text formating in an
attachment WINMAIL.DAT if UUENCODED, or section "application/ms-tnef" if
MIME.
If the recipient is using Exchange, it converts it back again.
Note to all Exchange users - you can modify this your address book by
setting/clearing the check-box in the "tools.address box.properties.SMTP
address" dialog. But if you're *replying*, exchange guesses the state of
this flag, often incorrectly.
