User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20050110 Firefox/1.0 (Debian package 1.0+dfsg.1-2)

When mail comes in from Outlook, it's tnef encoded, and all I get is one
attachment, winmail.dat.  This can be decoded with a tnef decoder, but
apparently on Windows it's done automatically (at least, a colleague with
Thunderbird on windows doesn't see winmail.dat), and in Linux it's not.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Get someone to send an HTML mail with attachments.
Actual Results:  
Linux thunderbird shows the mail with one attachment named winmail.dat.

Expected Results:  
Decoded the file in the background and shown the actual attachments.
