This is more of an exiscan question than exim, but somebody may be able
to point me in the right direction.

We upgraded to the latest version of exim, exiscan and spamassassin
yesterday. Now one of our automated emails does not work. We switch on
the bounce emails with a broken mime type and so we are now getting this
error for a message which has worked fine every day before we upgraded.

So there are two content types, one for the text and one for the
attachment. This email is created by a perl script and we thought the
formatting was correct, but exiscan thinks not. Any ideas or pointer
appreciated.
