for tnef you'll see what is already packaged.

I recently packaged tnef, which is a pure command line application. I 
added gnome and kde context menus so that if you receive a mail with a 
tnef attachment, you save the attachment, and then right click on the 
file and use open with extract tnef archive.

The package has not yet completed review, but the spec, and source rpm 
are available on the review request:

Any reviewers are welcome to help out by sorting out the final stages of 
the review.

I have heard about that, but as a non-evolution it isn't interesting for 
me. How about you ? Want to contribute to the Fedora community and learn 
a little a packaging software for a distro ?
