I've been quietly trying to track this down as well so I can give some
intelligent feedback to the Admins.

   My next step is to e-mail a few folks whose attachments always fail.
Since this started about 2-3 months ago on my machine, I hope to pin it down
to their recent update of their software. I have little doubt that the
problem is with Microsoft. I get large attachments almost daily from folks
that don't use IE or OutLook and they are fine using MIME encoding.

   This brings up a larger issue of attachements. I use to get a lot of
useless *.VCF(?) attachments related to Outlook but I no longer see them
since I've had the failures and tell Eudora to "Get Rid of Them"...
