Michael> You might want to be silent instead of sounding foolish.

Michael> application/ms-tnef is the type of data within a segment of the

RFC2046, section 6 (Experimental Media Type Values):
,----
| Any format without a rigorous and public definition must be named with
| an "X-" prefix...
`----

I believe that is what Marc was referring to.

So the MIME type should have been called "application/x-ms-tnef".
