Here is a segment of an older email of mine that went through without a problem:

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

------=_NextPart_000_0032_01C3F3D4.BC2280E0
Content-Type: text/plain;
        charset="iso-8859-1"

Based on the differences between the 2, I would suspect a problem with the way his software is generating the MIME boundary tag. Ask him if he can define in the program script or code
to use a different boundary definition such as:
Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="------=NextPart"


This would hopefully stop the text boundaries of -- and --- from being intrepreted as 
MIME boundaries


Hope that helps. Bob J
