Thanks for posting the message source. The mesend utility is base64 encoding the attachment and it seems that the boundaries appear to be incorrect (although we cannot reproduce it in the development envirionment). We are looking into the problem. If you dont mind could you have the recipient right click on the message, select properties, click details, click message source.. and then either post the source or mail it to support@mailenable.com.

Thanks
Regards, Andrew

You should be able to access it now. We have replication between our servers and it takes a couple of minutes to transfer.
