Here's what one of the messages that only shows up as an
attachment shows:

Content-Type: multipart/signed; micalg=pgp-sha1;
 protocol="application/pgp-signature";
boundary="5G06lTa6Jq83wMTw"
Content-Disposition: inline
User-Agent: Mutt/1.3.17i

These messages show up *blank* in the message "body". You have
to open the (2) attachments to see the message. One is
"ATTxxxxxx.txt" and the other is "ATTyyyyyy.dat". The "txt"
file contains the person's message.

Maybe I'm reading what you said above wrong, but is mutt set
up incorrectly ??

You don't understand... the messages are perfectly readable.
It's just that they're attached to the mail. Open the
attachment and there it is.
