Having been bitten by this particular bug several times recently, I offer to you a fix; a must-have if you're using Gmail, and you should be.
There is a bug in Google Mail that sometimes gives you "noname" attachments, bizarrely encoded (it's called "appledouble"), when sent from a Mac. Google have been made aware of the problem in March 2007 and are... hum... "working on it". Here you can upload those files and retrieve them decoded.
And if anyone's worried about this gent's data-retention policy, I've got a local version set up too, but I'm just as untrustworthy as he is. (My advantage: I couldn't retain data if I wanted to.)
