No... I doubt this very much. I just received 13 attachments on one
email of types .pas, .dfm, .dcu, .dpk and one .txt, none were messed
up. The thing that is getting me is the fact that trying to open them
is messing up, but resending them to yourself means they can be opened
fine. To me this suggests something might have been messed up during
the send/receive. It could be that the message attachment itself
(when encoded) my have been wrapped oddly by some mail server in
between not following rfc guidelines. When you go to resend with TB!
it rewraps the attachment itself, and fixes the issue. What you may
want to try doing is looking at the source of the email, and make sure
there are no extra line breaks in the email, like such:
(normal header bit)
Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
boundary="----=_NextPart_000_000D_01C255BD.716F61A0"
(body header attachment)
------=_NextPart_000_000D_01C255BD.716F61A0
Content-Type: application/octet-stream;
name="Dimdbdat.dcr"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="Dimdbdat.dcr"

If you see that, or something similar to that, then that'd be the
cause of your problem. Otherwise I think I'd be lost for
options/ideas/solutions.
