Richard -
We have the same problem with Notes trying to "help us out" (read,
"bit-mangle") with attachments. The best thing I know to do is to
ZIP/Stuff the file before it's attached. Self-extracting would be the
safest, but will add to the file size a bit.
HTH...James

Subject: [OT] What are the MIME rules for email attachments
I have a client for whom I've made an app that saves its data in text
files. The data is plain text but has a specific structure and I need
to keep it intact when it's sent via email.
What we're finding is that a lot of email clients will copy text
attachments into the body of the email. Why? How do we tell
Outlook/Eudora/Hotmail/Mozilla to leave the attachment as an attachment
as the user specified?
Damn, these emails packages are trying to be too smart for their own
good. Is there a rule somewhere that if you're writing an email client
the widely-published specs for such things don't apply to you? ;)
