        Hi,
hard to tell. Could you show a message source (View->Message Source/Ctrl
+U in evolution) and search for the Content-Type headers (line begins
with it), and paste here all you'll see there, with surrounding couple
lines, please? As an example:
   Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="err"
   Content-Type: text/plain; name="err"; charset="UTF-8"
   Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Also, how do you receive the message, is it through POP3, IMAP, ...?
        Bye,
        Milan
