I tried this code and sent the first email to my Yahoo account. The result was similar: the attachments were part of the body message - even worse, the text file I sent was parsed into HTML.

Next I sent an email to my Linux box and viewed it in (please don't laugh at me) PINE. The attachments were not part of the body - I could download them seperately.

So, I believe that MIME::Lite is working correctly as specified, and the problem lies within the receiving mail transfer agent or maybe the mail delivery agent that puts the email in the user's mailbox. I am not an email expert, but sounds like the problem is out of your hands.
