This is Outlook-specific brain damage - it likes to mangle everything
into a ms-tnef format attachment. You'll probably notice the same thing
if you send an attachment to a non-Outlook user.  If sending it directly
*does* work, then there's something odd going on...

It works fine, as long as the list isn't configured to reject attachments.
