The issue you described is a known problem with Microsoft Outlook, @london. When sending e-mails with attachments from QuickBooks, if the recipient's client isn't capable of receiving rich text format (.rtf), Outlook may convert the attachment to a file called Winmail.dat.

Beforehand, I've added a screenshot for visual reference when configuring this under the Preference menu.
To verify your data:
Then, here's how to rebuild data:
If the same thing happens, you may consider using the QuickBooks Tool Hub to resolve errors on your file.
Moreover, I'm adding this guide that you may utilize when receiving customer payments: Record invoice payment.
