It does not tell you very much, but here it is (addresses munged)!

As an experiment, I tried forwarding the message from Outlook to
another email account, and downloaded it with TB.  The files came
across perfectly.

This this the file boundary of the message when I shows properly in
TB, after forwarding from Outlook:

,----- [ File Boundary - message forwarded from Outlook (same file) ]

| Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
| Content-Disposition: attachment;
|         filename="CRB - Assessing criminal convictions V2.doc"
`-----

I am not sure what the problem is, but I wonder if it is related to it
being 8 bit?  I guess that is what the "Content-Type:
application/octet-stream; name="CRB"" means.  I suspect that it is a
problem with the sender's set up, but I am not sure why it is
upsetting TB!  Probably something Microsoft did!
