I got the same problems with binary attachments sent out this way 
from Win98, so i tend to think of a a problem with mutt or ssmtp.

Jason, 

would it be an option to use other software for all these tasks?
Have you ever tried to build xmailserver from http://xmailserver.org?

It has support for Windows and Linux, it retrieves mail from pop3 
Server, it has strong filter mechanisms, it comes with a sendmail 
emulation, it is fast, a real MTA which MAY build at cygwin (i never 
tried since it builds OOTB with MSVS6 for me, so i have no need to 
try).

Ciao,

Gerrit
