yes. the attachments should have been mime encoded, and probably converted
to base 64 for transport.
email is a text media, and binaries can't reasonably be transported without
conversion to an intermediate text representation (e.g., base 64).
you should try approving such a message and see if the folks at the other
end can unpack it before you panic.
