Try sending it to your E-Mail address instead of - send to myself.

Chances are, your server uses Microsoft Outlook.
The explanation for that problem is here:

The basic problem is that Outlook tends to use a proprietary
form of encoding for attachments, which is not readable by
non-Outlook mail clients.
When sending attachments from Outlook, use plain text format,
not Rich Text Format (RTF).
