Someone is sedning me emails with attachments but the attachments becomes
embedded at end of email as garbage. Is this due to sender encoding
attachments in bin hex or uuencode?

Outlook should be able to handle UUencoded attachments. I don't know about
bin hex. When you say "garbage", what do the first few lines look like? In
what format is the message received? What version of Outlook?

Outlook 2002

I finally got the attachments. I think he was using a file type that Outlook
or our spam filter "blocks" but somehow incomplety amd puts in body. When he
sent it as .doc I got it as attachment okay.

That looks like UUencode with the "begin" statement that defines the
attachment missing.
