The point was that not only was there the dreaded winmail.dat file
present, but also that the actual text of the post had been encoded into
a binary.  Now I realize that many mailers automatically decode such an
attachment and display it, but mine has to create a separate file, which
I can then chose to examine.  Just think on the fact that such an
automatically-opened binary could equally have contained a virus.
