Well, in the tests I've done there is enough inconsistency to drive you up the wall.  *I* send an attachment via Outlook 2010 and it is not part of the received mail.  A colleague tested that and the attachment got through.  I do not see the "multipart/alternative" sections some are receiving.  And *why* this has started?  Now?  MS dropped a number of patches a few weeks ago, so that might be the cause.  Or not.  Cripes.

Thanks for the help, "Language= Exchange" seems to resolve the matter, and I'll check further.

I doubt this has anything to do with 1.8d though. Granted it strips the dreaded WINMAIL.DAT as well as application/ms-tnef, but so do all versions after that unless you disable it, and these attachments were always unparseable to non-Microsoft clients. What changed since 1.8d is that Microsoft saw the light and started following standards for attachments and fixed the hassle they had created. If OWA does not exhibit the problem, it is unlikely to be due to Exchange. On the other hand, it surprises me that Outlook 2010 would still have the code to generate this. I suggest mailing an attachment from Outlook 2010 to a non-Microsoft account to see what the headers look like.
