Yuck - what a pointless thing for MSFT to have done.

I don't get them often enough to bother pestering people to
reconfigure their email programs (but the webpage you're looking for
is http://support.microsoft.com/kb/138053). As for a way of decoding
them, what you need is tnef (http://www.sf.net/projects/tnef) to
decode those tnef files. Then add this to your mailcap file:
application/ms-tnef; tnef -w %s
Unfortunately, that'll just allow you to extract files, you then have
to go view them yourself. I don't know of a better way, since the real
name of the file is hidden within the winmail.dat file.
