I guess this is a bit off topic for a CE list, but Mail doesn't give me the choices of encoding that CE did. As far as I can tell, the only option is to check a box titled "send Windows friendly attachments." Rather than worry about remembering, I have found that I can just leave that box checked, no matter who I send to. What encoding am I actually using?
I can give you one better... don't use the Attachment dialog at all... just drag the attachment into the body window. When you do that Mail seems to intelligently determine which method to use. So far, doing that has not steered me wrong, and everyone has been getting attachments that work correctly and make them happy.
And BTW, when my wife sends photos with CE to our daughter using AOL in Germany, so uses Base 64 and my daughter can open them, but they appear as attached files. When I send her photos using Mail and with the box checked, she says they open right in the body of the post "just like I like them." Can anyone explain what is going on?
CE has no way to handle inline attachments, so everything just shows up as plain attached files. Mail is more friendly and so other mail clients that can support formatted emails will get "nicer" results.
