A small correction. AppleDouble is an encoding, not a compression. I second the recommendation to leave your system on the default of AppleDouble when sending to Windows users. All major mail clients understand AppleDouble format without problems. You are far more likely to run into problems due to missing or incorrect file extensions than to an encoding problem.
As for compression, Stuffit is a better compression than Zip, but unfortunately not enough PC users understand compression to make this viable, so you are probably better off leaving compression in the (default) off state. on 4/23/02 5:28 AM, Tim Mountford at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Compression-wise: AppleDouble has never failed me yet.
