And when would be a better time to persuade 
people not to use the "swiss cheese of emailers"?

It is definitely NOT "the standard".

I would expect "the standard" to send "standard" 
MIME attachments right out of the box. Having 
to process "winmail.dat" files is a PITA.

The word "standard" is abused by mentioning
it in the same sentence as that standard subverting 
menace of an emailer.

Of course, groupwise is also pretty lame, but provides 
lots of "capabilities" too. Is vCal going to go anywhere 
soon?
