Hi Rildo. The MS-TNEF type portion you're seeing is the funny way that Microsoft Exchange uses to send additional information about the text... font names, sizes, colors, etc. It doesn't contain anything that the ordinary reader should worry about missing. The senders aren't even aware that it's being produced.
