That's what I use, too.

I have a note about this on my web page:
When you open a TNEF attachment from mutt's attachments menu, if
the attachment contains only RTF enhancements to the text
message, nothing will happen.
I don't remember if I determined that empirically or by reading it
somewhere. I have not looked at the tnef source (1.2.1) to see what
it does for sure.

This looks like it contains only one file, part of the text of an
e-mail message, so it may consist only of RTF enhancements to the
message to which it was attached.
I don't receive many tnef attachments, so I don't have any recent
examples of tnef attachments that actually contain anything other
than RTF enhancements. Consequently, I can't test whether the tnef
program still works with the current version of MS
application/ms-tnef attachments.
