Now when i compare the actual headers of the two mails the gmail one
seems to have had the following multipart headers stripped away (these
ARE present on the local exchange version):

You looked at the raw message on the Gmail web site? If it gets to Gmail without the content, then it's not an Outlook issue. It's one server or the other that's stripping the content. You might want to try posting this in the microsoft.public.exchange.applications newsgroup, which deals with Exchange development issues.
