When sending an attachment with mozilla, the recipient recieves a corrupt
attchment that will not open

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create an new email and attach a file (in my case a word formatted document)
2.send it to yourself or someone else
3.get mail and try to open the attachment

Actual Results:  
attatchment does not open.  In my case it hangs OpenOffice

Expected Results:  
Attachment should open properly

When I used Evolution or the official release that came with RedHat 8 (version
1.01?) the attachment can be opened by the recipient.

Attachment: this is the File who was getting broken when used as an attachment

I can confirm this bug. It observed it first with 1.4a and when i tested it it
happened even with 1.3. The Attachment of the Message in my Sent Folder was
broken too when i checked, so it is not a pure transmission Bug.
I then unpacked the .zip File and was sending the pure .exe file and Mozilla
was sending it correct, it appeared correct in the Sent Folder too.

File is attached.
