I think  that  with MIME::Lite you can  just set the  type as BINARY or
TEXT.  I experimented with  lots of   types  for  zip files and xls/csv
files and whilst  is  may break the RFC  it  does not seem to break how
the item is attached  eg I send  xls files as text and  it made no
difference  when  the mail arrived in outlook with the attachement.

That's  probably heresy though :)
