The short winmail.dat parts have no interesting data in them anyway.
I have forgotten what Outlook clients send each other in there, but
it is usually not a file attachment.

It is interesting that Outlook and Exchange still default to LAN
behavior and have to be reset to do Internet Mail, as if sending
mail to and from non-Exchange users was an exceptional situation.
The developers' bosses don't seem to get out much.
