Hi Jesse, What a surprise!!! Indeed it looks like Thunderbird was massaging the forwarding email... I forwarded the very same ticket to my Hotmail account and it looked just fine. As soon as I forwarded it to my local work email account and have Thunderbird open it, the attachment became uuencoded. This is probably done by some plug-in? I will investigate and report back if I find any information.
Thanks very much for your help!
