Thank you, Mark Simpson and Thomas Boll. It's brilliant. It compiled straight away. It's really easy to use. The man page is great and the link to Microsoft in the Other References section is really useful.

Yes that would be nice. I haven't had the chance to maintain, let alone improve tnef recently.
I would love to have something that can parse calender stuff and allow me to reply to them inside of VM (my mailer of choice) then i would be able to just about not use Outlook at all.
appointment tnef files?
It would be nice if this utility could decode the winmail.dat files attached to appointment/meeting requests generated by Outlook. This utility doesn't seem to extract anything from those files.
nice
just the way such a tool should be.
And the author does not want $199 for the source :-)
