It sounds like your client isn't splitting the message into its components when you're trying to read it.

This often happens in Exchange/Outlook, when the cover memo (the body of the message) is sent in Rich Text format. The mail message consistsof the MIME headers, the plain-text cover memo, the rich-text cover memo (MIME-encoded) and the attachment (also MIME-encoded).

The solution to this is included in SP5 of Exchange I believe. Alternatively, you can request that the sender send their messages (not attachments) as plain text. We have had this problem with GroupWise 5.5 receiving messages from Exchange domains.

The problem is with the Lotus Domino SMTP configuration. If you know what version of Domino is being used, the best bet is to upgrade to 5.0.9, there were some wierd errors that surfaced with 5.0.5 through 5.0.7.

There are numerous articles on the various mime issues and Lotus Domino 5.0x. I believe the majority were fixed by the time 5.0.9 was introduced.

I am unable to be more specific since I don't know the particulars of the Domino environment.
