Changed to horde 3.1.7 --> same problem
The problem has probably someting to do with the fact that the 
attachment is NOT base64 encoded if sent with imp.

source:
> Content-Type: text/plain;
> 	charset=ISO-8859-1;
> 	name="Gpuntis.RDP"
> Content-Disposition: attachment;
> 	filename="Gpuntis.RDP"
> Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Can it be a problem with php?
My version is 4.3.10
