How are they being encoded? UUENCODE or MIME?

Subject: rcv unreadable files via e-mail

      Is there a known issue out there about not being able to "read" documents sent from other locations via e-mail?  An office in France sends files over (jpg, .doc, gifs,txt, etc etc,) to Canada via e-mail......and they are not

readable!   The text is garbled.....when sent back to them, they (the creators of the initial file) can read them.  I'm running Exchange Server 5.5......but maybe my Unix server (which filters the mail prior to going into the Exchange), has an option disabled or is limited to the format (which in that case, becomes a Unix problem so ignore,,,but if its exchange...?!)  Is this familiar to anyone?  When France sends it over to UK or USA branches, they're readable...but not to ours.
