Aha, an idea :) Go to the 'Account' menu, select the 'Properties ...' item, then select the 'Files & Directories' item in the left-hand pane then look at the drop-down box entitled 'By default encode attachments using'. Change the setting there to the opposite of what it's currently set to (there are two settings, 'MIME Base 64' and 'UU Encoding'). Then try sending the file you were originally trying to send (in Word 2000 format). Does it work this time?
