User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040614 Firefox/0.9

When I try to send word attachment an error message is sent to me saying it has
sent the e-mail but cannot save to sent folder.
The responder will reply back saying there is nothing in the attachment OR when
they open the word attachment it is all encoded.

I've seen this as a recipient of messages sent by Thunderbird 0.7.1.

To me, the Word document is seen as text/plain attachment, are corrupted, and
Mutt complains the following way: "multipart message has no boundary parameter!"

To give more details, this may be a duplicate of #249049:

What I see doesn't look too different:

--------------080000010600020907050102
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit



--------------080000010600020907050102
Content-Type: multipart/appledouble;
 name="foobar.doc"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Content-Disposition: inline;
 filename="foobar.doc"

Actually, I think that this is a dupe of:
- 236239 
- 232923
- 249049

Duping to what seems to be the most informative bug about the appledouble 
problem.
