What I have above is all of the MIME information -- at least all that is shown
from Outlook with "View Source". Starting with the [...] is the MIME encoded
attachment.
I will see if I can get one sent to my gmail account so I can do a real "View
Source" to see if it's an incomplete MIME header. I am now suspecting the
generating application is problem.
