It was base64, but that's the default used by Rmail, because I didn''t
change anything, just used the mail-add-attachment command, and the
file I attached was plain-ASCII file.

Then I have no idea what is going on, but from my testing the problem
doesn't exist.  Perhaps your configuration of email happens to trigger
some rare situation, but I'd need a clear recipe starting from "emacs -Q"
to reproduce it.  Or maybe your MTA has something to do with that?
