Nathan, are you aware that you're sending in a non-text format?  Looks like 
it might be WordPerfect or something like that.  A bit HTML-ish.  If you're 
using a word processor for an editor, you need to save in text format 
before sending it as Internet mail.  As you'll note in the quoted material 
above, it's pretty hard for anyone without the same word processor to read. 
 BTW, the answer to your question, I think, is that the program was written 
to use the old 8.3 file spec, which only allows eight characters of 
filename and three of extension.  When you try to enter a larger name, its 
input editor truncates what you type down to eight plus three characters, 
namely the eleven you're getting.
