Dave, whatever you did to send this message and break it into 5 pieces is not grokable to OUTLOOK. I got 5 messages, each with a single attachment named something like ATT00224.TXT. Here's an elided version of what came in that file:

Given that the first file just seemed to end with no recognizable sentinal, I suspect your mailer is splitting these files and that OUTLOOK has no way to recognize that an attachment has been split across multiple files (sounds like Scott's email program on the Mac doesn't either).

I'm sure this is the same problem we saw with Gaby's message awhile back.
