Eudora uses the exact format used for unix mail files, so I recommend that.

Binary for certain. Eudora can sort out the attachment format as long
as the file has not been translated. Not just email, but with
everything, use binary only. Even if you need the line terminators
translated, ftp is the worst way on earth to do it.
