This is because Outlook means to know it better and interprets the
begin  file....  as an atachment.
Realy it is no attachment. It is simply an encodet file, for mutt
nothing else then normal text. So mutt does not display it as an
attachment.

This is because it is a correct mime-attachment. With all the headers
and so.

AFAIK no. You should use
mutt -a <file>
to send attachments from commandline.
