is this the case? Or are the attachments not visible in the client? I'm quite
shure there's a button to look at the mail source even in a client like
outlook. This way you can see, if the attachment is there, but not shown.
Another possibility is, that the mailserver disallows some types of attachment
and removes them if considered bad. Maybe your experts configured it this
way :)

If so, it's not because she is using a mac.

That's a question of how the filter is configured. Maybe somebody has her in
his blacklist :)

Regarding MIME, some clients are somewhat special. So it is not necessarily
bullshit when attachments are not shown. It certainly is bullshit regarding
lost email or junkmail filtering.
