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.
