Any ideas? It's a good thing for the mail gateway to be virus-scanning outbound mail (and hopefully inbound too). It's a very bad thing for the mail gateway to be making changes to the messages it scans. The only proper place for a mail gateway to add anything to any messages is in the *headers* -- they can add received headers, and they can add X-Comment headers. Adding text to the message can break the message itself as you've already noted. If you look at the entire raw message file, without benefit of a mail client that interprets all the codes for you, you'll probably find the bottom banner attached below the message, probably outside the broken parts.
