tnef == transmission neutral encoding format. Microsofts attempt to
*invent* a standard. This is essentially a rich-text version of the
ascii text in the message and has all formatting that the ascii
does not. It can be suppressed in the mail client (both exchange
and outlook) but I don't have specific details on how to do it.
She should look for "send rich text" or something like that.
