My company is all mac based, and a good portion of my email with attachments is going in house. So for me, AppleDouble is better. Although recently, I've been doing so much work for one client that is all Windows based, that I've been starting to think about changing to Base64 as the default. Simply because 99% of my saved files I automatically name with the correct Windows 3 letter extension, so taking that into account with the number of people that I now have to change to Base64 to send to them safely... I think I may have crossed the threshold that it is easier to go to Base64 by default and manually change back to AppleDouble as needed. I think I haven't made that change either due to laziness, or some stubborn part of me that refuses to cave into the Windows world's arrogance that nothing outside of Base64 could possibly be of use in email. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
