They are sent as special MIME attachments when the messages traverse the
Internet.  The Outlook client will recognize them and treat them in a
special way; other e-mail clients should simply show them as mysterious
attachments.

Within Exchange, they are treated as attachments, also, but since the entire
Exchange database format is proprietary, it is much more complicated to
access them (from a client that you write yourself, as opposed to an
Exchange client like Outlook).
