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. -- Eric S Fraga via Emacs 28.0.50 & org 9.3.6 on Debian bullseye/sid
