Do all clients that have the problem at your end use the same mail client?  How
about same mail server?  Are you 100% sure the text files come with line breaks
in them?  Wordpad writes text files without line breaks, and when it saves, the
only breaks that get put in are those actually made by the user with
return/enter.

This is just the top header of the email telling the email program what line is
used to start the attachment.  If you look at the mail source (I think this
works), you should notice further down in the same email, a line starting:

----_=_NextPart_000_01C255C4.B7602E40

Then a couple of headers, and then what appears as random text.  That is normal
;)
