for Evolution to be able to read the Microsoft proprietary packaging of attachments, you must:

1. install the following packages:

- libytnef0
- evolution-plugins-experimental

(on a terminal, 'sudo apt-get install libytnef0 evolution-plugins-experimental' will do it.)

2. Quit Evolution;

3. Start Evolution again;

4. go to Edit/Plugins, and scroll down to "TNEF Attachment decoder"; enable it.

5. Close the Plugin Manager.

You may have to bounce Evolution again, but this is it.

I am closing this bug. Please do not hesitate in re-opening it if you feel we did not address your issue.

Of course, life would be much more simpler for all if Microsoft were to default to Internet-compatible attachments...
