We are sending these from the System I but we are not using
the IBM SMTP to do it

Make sure if you're sending these from the system i that the
IBM SMTP server
isn't splitting the email/attachment. It's something it
does, but most
clients don't know how to piece it back together.

See www.bvstools.com/docs/mailtool/faq.html in the section
on attachment
splitting for a fix depending on your OS version.

The email I am using for this is from Outlook
Here is an example of the MIME data that causes the extra
attachment:

From: John Allen
We are now creating our own email messages
(MIME files) with as many attachments as we want.


I don't know that much about MIME protocol, but I suspect
that Exchange is creating the ATT00001.TXT attachment
based
on MIME headers embedded in the data stream. Content-Type
and Content-Transfer-Encoding headers, perhaps. Or maybe
a
Multipart header? Are you using a tool for generating
MIME
headers?

My Yahoo mail reader shows the following headers in your
original post, for example. But it didn't generate an
attachment:
