Chances are, your server uses Microsoft Outlook.
The explanation for that problem is here:

http://email.about.com/od/outlooktips/qt/et121705.htm

The basic problem is that Outlook tends to use a proprietary
form of encoding for attachments, which is not readable by
non-Outlook mail clients.
When sending attachments from Outlook, use plain text format,
not Rich Text Format (RTF).
