Attachments lost

I have recieved 2 complaints over the last week of mail with
attachments arriving without the attachments. Outgoing is
pop3-Recieving mail systems
Exchange/Lotus. The first complaint arrived as a reply with the
attachments intact. The second complaint arrived as just text, though
the recieptant I suspect(from the mail headers) was working from home
and not sure if the
client would include the attachments with the reply.
Added config- in Outlook-under internet mail receiptants, I have
outlook rich text converted to plain text and use uuencode-I checked
that as I thought being the older standard it would be more
universally understood(besides I hate the little formatting files that
arrive with plain mail text).
Could it be that these mail systems only know mime?
In a response from another group, someone mentioned they had
experienced this with sister's Lotus mail system- thought it was a
Lotus quirk. Repeated tests to other mail systems show no problem-the
people getting these attachments, which are 2Word docs-resume/cover
letter, obviously get many emails with attachments.
Anyone got any thoughts on why the attachments are getting hosed?

If you're sending in Rich Text format, that could explain it. Lotus can't
handle Rich Text format, an Outlook-only format. Try sending in HTML or
Plain Text.

I had been sending internet mail in plain text, though my display was
rich text- I run a exchange server for laughs(study) on my home
network- but since you mentioned it, the reply I got back complaining
no attachment was showing rich text, and the other complaint was from
an OE client-Hmm...
