Confirmed. Robert's post containing the image showed just one
attachment here.
Looking at the raw source, I see
...

Content-Type: multipart/appledouble;

The actual EPS was correctly recognized by Apple Mail and Preview.
Looking at:
http://devworld.apple.com/documentation//mac/MoreToolbox/
MoreToolbox-99.html
I have trouble identifying something in there that would allow us to
reliably identify the presence of a resource fork (like a magic number
or something). Anybody around with experience with resource forks?
Not really. Just been browsing around a bit, and generally, removing
the resource forks is done as part of a batch process.
A forked image file is also unusable for web pages. Maybe Adobe
Photoshop allows saving the file for use on a different platform?
If not, then the following link could be useful:

If my suspicion above is correct, maybe the Mac gurus here have some
tips for Robert. Just removing some leading bytes will not be the
answer
as that doesn't guarantee that you've removed everything, as you
noticed.
But if you use the second file that was included in your e-mail, it
should work (it worked for me). Apparently, something stripped the
resource fork from the file.
IIRC, on other platforms, the resource fork would appear as a second
file with the same name with a prefix. Something like
'._langh_bilder_3_direkt.eps' (?)
