Could Outlook be sending the message twice?  Once in plain text for me
and a second one for the sender in a winmail.dat?

It looks like it in my maillog:

Jan 28 15:59:59 smtp2 sendmail[10556]: h0SKxwK10556: from=<andre.fredette at USherbrooke.ca>, size=1096963, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<000c01c2c710$36dc8120$12b4d28

This is confirmed by the 2 emails that don't have the same ID:

Received: from STI106 ([132.210.180.18]) by smtp2.usherbrooke.ca
        (8.11.6/8.11.6) with ESMTP id h0SKxwK10556 for

What a stupid program!
