Sorry. I must have looked at each header half a dozen times before
querying this, and
still I didn't 'see' the filename.

Does the text in the message body start with a line containing only a
dot? I seem to
remember that there's something like that to mark the end of a message
body, in
SMTP mails in transit, but the dot is often stripped out of incoming
mails by the
receiving server so users tend not to know about it.

You can google for: smtp "dot-stuffing" to find out more about it.

Does that last 'Anonymous' hold a clue? There was nothing in your curl
command about
how you authenticate yourself to the server; could it have stripped the
body out of the
mail for safety reasons?

I think you're going to have to speak to the administrator.

Worth a try though, not least because it might produce an interesting
error
message somewhere.
