You can't.
All attachments must be encoded before being sent and MIME 1.0 is the industry standard for message encoding.
When receiving a message with an attachment file type that cannot be recognized by the email client and/or by the computer/device used, MIME attachment will appear instead.
This can mean the attachment that was sent is a file type that cannot be accessed/viewed by the iPhone. I also see the same on occasion when a received message was forwarded by the sender and the message received by the sender contains an attachment that can be accessed/viewed by the iPhone but the original message that was forwarded was composed in HTML which can do screwy things with email on occasion - personally I wish HTML would be forbidden with the exchange of email - this along with forbidding the use of the AOL program to send email with attachments.
