Hi Ken,
Thank you for your pointers. I will re-evaluate the solution requirements
and pursuit other means if needed.
Regards,
DG.

MS has posted a lot more info. about its proprietary standards over the
last few months, e.g. in the MSDN library - for example, here is a
document about TNEF at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc425498.aspx
There are also documents about task items /in MS Exchange/ etc.
Whether these are the standards you need, or complete enough for your
needs, I couldn't tell you. (FWIW at least some of these "Open
Specification" documents are works in progress)

Dear Peter,
Thank you very much for the information and link. I had noticed the
specifications in the MSDN library, and hoped that someone might have
examples on, or a better summary for, these documents to save some reading
time and lessen the learning curve.
Best regards,
DG

Yes, I find this kind of stuff pretty heavy going. Nor can I tell you if
any of the open source TNEF processors are (a) any good or (b) contain
documentation likely to help.
