Not that particular one. However, this happens with all 12 TNEF files 
I've got handy, and there's exactly of those that doesn't contain a body 
discussing the non-public business interactions of one of my employer's 
customers with one of their clients... I'll send that one (an MDN 
apparently sent by "me" using Outlook, responding 2 years after the fact 
to a message announcing my own hiring!) directly to you.

THEORY: My TNEFs are in fact special. All of the TNEFs I have on hand 
are the product of a tangled mess of Outlook versions and maybe a WebEx 
gadget interacting with a CommuniGate Pro server and its various 
imperfect versions of a "MAPI Connector" that makes it look like a 
mutant version of Exchange.
