In any multi-part message, the individual parts after the first appear
like random characters until they're combined with the rest of the parts.
An attachment has a beginning followed by lots of "gobbledy-gook"
followed by an end. When it gets broken apart, the first part will
still have the 'beginning' and will look reasonable in a newsreader
(although you can't use it). THe next parts will have no 'beginning'
and so be uninterpretable - your newsreader can only show you the
middle 'gobbledy-gook' part. Once they're combined the newsreader
knows what to do with them.

Try to use Agent's "join sections' on one of your previous posts.
