LW 6.1 and Cl-Smtp

I'm seeing what appears to be an encoding issue on LW 6.1 using Cl-Smtp.

When sending any type of file it is randomly scrambling any attachments.  
For example a ASCII text file at around line 75, I see garbage:

This did not appear to be and issue in 6.0. Just curious if anyone else is  
seeing this in LW 6.1?

I can't repeat this when emailing cl-smtp.lisp to myself as an attachment.

Thanks for the reply Martin. After your email I tried emailing myself  
cl-smtp.lisp and also received garbage in Microsoft Outlook 2003 and 2007.  
Then I tried sending emails to other email accounts and found they worked.  
It appears to be some issue with encoding/decoding and Outlook.
