Steve:
To answer your question, if you look at the headers of the two messages you receive, the one that comes as an attachment will have a content type something like:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=X-roman8
the one that appears "normally" will have a content type of:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
when exchange gets a message with a charset of us-ascii it is able to display it normally... otherwise, it appears as an attachment!
to fix it, on the machine that generates attachments, issue the following command:
# echo "charset=us-ascii" >> /usr/share/lib/mailx.rc
for system-wide
or
# echo "charset=us-ascii" >> $HOME/.mailrc
for a single user
to a man on mailx and search for mailrc (and also charset) for more information
Good luck
nothing wrong with me that a few lines of code cannot fix!
