This must be the same kind of problem as the one I had. See the thread
beginning by

<vpqr8ngfqbl.fsf@ubaye.imag.fr> (Problem with attachments.) 

I had difficulties  to open the attachment, but  actually, I could, by
just pressing `b', and waiting for a *long* time ... 

What I don't understand is why half quoted printable, and the other in
base64. 

The simplest solution is not to split the message.
