Outlook isn't very smart.  If you receive an e-mail in which someone typed
"begin" at the beginning of a line followed by two spaces, it will treat
the rest of the text as an encoded attachment, and render it invisible.

Microsoft knows about the bug, but hasn't fixed it.  In the MSKB article
about it, they literally tell you "try using another word instead of
'begin', such as 'commence'."

I almost triggered the bug with that line right there!
