>I have found that choosing Base64 seems to work for everyone these days.

Just keep in mind that Base64 removes the resource fork of the 
attachment. That means, if you send a document file to a Mac user, it 
will lose the type/creator info, so they will not be able to simply 
double click the attachment to open it. If you add the document's common 
3 letter extension (ie: if you send a Word doc and put ".doc" at the end 
of the file name), then most Macs will reassign the type/creator based on 
the File Exchange preferences.

You can NOT send a Mac application using Base64 encoding, the application 
will be irreparably damaged on the recipient's end (it does not effect 
the original on the senders side, just the copy that gets attached to the 
email).
