im getting plain text gibberish as attachments

[gfunk123]

This is a strange one,

Our head office in france sends out a HTML based e-mail newsletter out every week to every exec in the company. the mail also has a .pdf acrobat attachment on the mail (approx 100k every time). This mail is sent to a mailing list of over 200 people, but for some reason everyone on our exchange server recieves the mail as gibberish, the HTML code is embedded in the body (in plain text), and the attachments, come out as (see below)

This is just a snippet of the thousands of lines of gibberish in the body of the mail (presumably this is an ascii interpretation of the attachment/s). incidentally, the first 200 lines of the mail are a complete one by one listing of every recipient on the mailing list

A complete mess basically

ps: strangely, if the mail is sent to a recipient directly (sole recipient) the mail comes through fine, in all its coulourful HTML glory, but as part of a large mailing list it goes horribly wrong.

The mail does have this line , but im not quite sure how to resolve this

"This message is in MIME format. Since your mail reader does not understand
this format, some or all of this message may not be legible."

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated

Thanks
Gary

Not sure if this is similar but i was getting gibberish thru with winmail.dat errors and attachments either missing completely or just crap coming thru

Q138053 from the Microsoft Web Page sorted most of it out
