Yep.  Had the same problem sending .png and .jpg files.  If I send it 
to myself (done for checking purposes), I get it back just fine.  
However, if I send it and it goes through some other (unknown) ISP, all 
the attachments are changed to text, making them unsuable.  I 
understand that some ISP's do the same stupid number on HTML code.

You might check by looking at the full headers as well as send and 
receive from other selected individuals.  If the problem is an ISP and 
the ISP can be isolated and identified, you can (and should) complain 
to the ISP operators.  Not even all large companies have changed the 
ISP procdures of the companies they have bought, so, let us say, 
Verizon is okay but an ISP it bought has been left as it is.  A 
complaint to Verizon is likely to get it fixed.
