It's probably going thru Virus checking stuff. I tested sending the same
document with Mozilla and I received it correct.y. I went and did a few
tests and this is what I found:

- The same file is viewed correctly when sent with Mozilla but not with
  Tkrat
- I noticed that the file that was giving me problems had 8 bit characters
  in the name
- When I send a file that doesn't have an 8 bit character in the name, it
  seems to be received correctly by Outlook
- TkRat via POP3 always interprets the attachment correctly. It's an Outlokk
  problem (yet again).

So it looks like having 8 bit characters in the file name is a no-no.

I'm using TkRat 20030213 with Tcl 8.4.1.
