[Mimedefang] Code to remove winmail.dat files and replace them with the attachments.

[hans hm04]

hi Thomas 

did you find a solution in the meantime ? 
i noticed, not all winmail.dat-attachements do have 
real data with included files. 
some of them have only a pointer to a file of an external filesystem.
therefore nothing couldn't be extracted. 

i am also interesting of automtic converting winmail.dat to 
"normal" attachments - as we don't use microsoft 
so i asked for a solution in 02/2004 - but no satisfied answers.
in the meantime there is a patch availabel - as i see.

are there success-stories with this patch too ? 

best regards 
hans
