I can't reproduce this.

Does it have anything to do with whether or not the attachment is sent from 
IMP? Can you reproduce the problem on demo.horde.org? Does it depend at all on 
the browser you're using to access IMP? Etc...

I found it so painstaking that I replaced Sendmail altogether. It took
me 3 hours to rebuild the /etc/sendmail.mc file for one client.

I had similar problems. I decided to replace Sendmail with Postfix.
Setup was easy and well documented. Postfix is also more secure than
Sendmail. Also think about QMail, which while hard to get setup is quite
fast and secure.

Just a note: You really need to let us know what distribution your
running, binary (RPM, DEB, Solaris Package) etc. It's like stabbing in
the dark for those who try to help otherwise.
