This has always bothered me, but every once in a while, particularly with AOL recipients, my attachments do not go through properly using Apple's Mail (both beta and 1.0). These are PC users I believe. My workaround is to use Entourage X and set the encoding for Windows. Then they receive it no problem. Is there any such selection to change encoding of attachments in Mail, or do I have to keep Entourage on my drive for just such cases? -- David R. Boag, DDS spikedds at bellsouth.net
