One more reason I'm glad there's Eudora. With the AppleDouble
setting, nobody on the receiving end has problems with attachment
formats. AD is the recommended MIME type for sending to mixed format
recipients, although they still include the UUencode data fork [only]
as an option.
Between that, and being in the habit of using extensions all the
time, which is made easier with the global "Always Show File
Extensions" setting in OSX, there's really no reason to worry about
which box is on the other end.
Mail.app, which looks like a 'lean' version of PowerMail, or
SquirrelMail, to me, seems pathetically bereft of features,
customization, etc.
