You need to tell Outlook to send using MIME, not it's own
"standard". When our organization moved fully to Outlook, I spent the
first few months pointing this out to people. Eventually, in our place,
the default was changed somehow.
On Linux, there's a tool called "tnef" which will decode these
files. Not sure how to get gnus to apply that, however.
