Thanks for everyone suggestions. We have fixed this by
moving the message up before the attachments.

I'm no MIME expert, but one thing that looks odd to me is
that your PDF attachment (an octet-stream), and your plain
text message are both within "BoundaryOne". I wonder if the
multipart boundary is not properly terminated.

Maybe someone can clarify this, or you might research MIME
protocol at http://www.w3.org/

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