Your mailer is horribly broken.  Because it botched the mime types,
Thunderbird displayed it as an empty message.  Also, we ask for cygcheck
output as a text mime type, so that mailers can display it inline; by
sending it application/octet-stream, I have to save it to disk and open it
in an external program to see its contents (sometimes renaming the file
with a .txt extension will help broken mailers give the right mime type).

However, full source to the rescue:

Besides fixing your mailer?  I'll let the xemacs maintainer take a shot at
it from here.
