It's included in SME 7, and enabled by default.

One of the benefits is so that you avoid error messages from Clam-AV such as:

LibClamAV Warning: TNEF - unknown level 48 tag 0x3030
LibClamAV Warning: TNEF - unknown level 168 tag 0xd189

There may be others...

in real life:

Your users (or the users of your client) want to use a non-microsoft email client like webmail, but MUST be able to receive attachments packed in a winmail.dat file by badly configured Outlook, THEN you need tnef2mime. It converts transparently the proprietary winmail.dat AKA TNEF to a standard mime attachment. And, as a benefit it also converts uuencoded attachments, produced by old style unix mail clients.
