I think you _want_ update you RT to latest version.

RT should not change binary(Office files are binary) attachments at all. 
It should save it as is and send it as is. RT has configs only for text 
parts of outgoing emails. RT store text as UTF-8 in DB. WebUI uses only 
UTF-8. Outgoing emails could be in any(cofigurable) encoding by default 
it's UTF-8, you can change it to another only if all correspondence feet 
in its charset.

So it's bug.
