I mean, have you ever tried sending an attachment with your mailinglist? > This is a production copy (stripped of > queries and out vars) of the file we currently use to send our email, > with success.

Email clients will accept it, but some MTA's will start messing with the MIME boundaries to fix them, and that might lead to unpredicted results. There used to be a very nice trick with certain MTA's where you could send a virus inside an email, but malform the email in such a way that the virusscanner thinks it is just plain text and leaves it alone, and after that the MTA repairs the email and activates the virus. Something like the "begin " trick in Outlook, only other vendors do fix bugs.
