It tried with both Thunderbird 1.0 and the current trunk on OS/2 and it works
for me.
Steve, can you take a look at the source code of the messages in the Sent folder
and the Incoming folder? Use Ctrl+U and/or an external editor to look at the
files in the profile with the names of the mail folders. Do you have any
extensions installed?

After backtracking and doing an IP trace, I can seen the attachement is being
made when it is sent to our server, one of the server processes is corrupting
the attachment. At this point I think this is not a Thunderbird bug...

Sorry, And thanks for the help.
