This is very strange, if I save the attachment from thunderbird and open 
it with hex editor, lines end with 0A (not 0D) and there's no 0A on the 
last line.

Encoded attachment has this header

Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=ym2149_fixed_vol.h
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=ym2149_fixed_vol.h

If I save the attachment from thunderbird, I don't have the last end of 
line ; if I save it with another mail reader, I get 0d 0a end of lines 
and the last end of line.

This has nothing to do with dos2unix, I think that as you say telus must 
be messing with attachments by sending them in a non conformant format 
that changes end of line depending on the mail reader.

To ensure file is received unaltered, I would suggest to gzip them 
before attaching.
