An application needs to email csv files to users as attachments. These files are generated by an oracle application, about which I know nothing. When we receive the mail, the attachment has been embeded in the message, rather than being included as an attachment.
The mail, correctly, arrives as though it has been sent from an internal email address.
To protect the guilty, email addresses have been changed.

When the application sends the same message to external email addresses, the data is correctly treated as an attachment.
This makes me think there is something wrong with our exchange set up.
Does anyone have any clues as to what is going on here ?
