I dont know which client was used to send it. I have only one mail
message left in my mailbox with the problem. I could forward it
privately to you but is was a CV for a job application and thus it
should never be posted publicly like it would be if i attach it in
launchpad.

I could check with the other people who reported me the same problem to
digg a recent, easy to publish, mail message perhaps obfuscating some of
the email addresses involved. The easiest for me would be to simply
prepare a mail message with a very small .doc document and change msword
for x-msword to trigger the problem. A simple google search for x-msword
shows that it is commonly used and often creates problem:
