Hi
I'm currently using Outlook 2003, send it to me and see if we have
issues.
Also what are other people's thoughts on Apple Mail, I've heard
from a lot
of people that they find it buggy and a basic hard to use
interface and
prefer to use Mozilla's Thunderbird...
I've used Apple Mail almost since it arrived! I've never used Mac
Outlook or Entourage so can't comment on them. Also I've not used
Thunderbird.
I've found Mail to be great, simple and bug free. Certainly, check
the "Send Windows Friendly Attachments" box. Why not?
It's a good, friendly, lightweight and simple email app.

I like Reg have been using Apple Mail & Address Book since they
originated.
Both have improved with every update and work so well together & with
all other iLife applications.
Paul's comments:
The attachment prob was similar to this thread's and the effect was
unnecessary embarrassment when dealing with Windows users, a bad
look really.
You would probably find the Windows recipient was using Windows
Outlook with has always had problems handling attachments. Which
Microsoft has been slow in fixing.
I have found inserting attachments within/between message text with
Tiger Mail's RTF along with including a signature can cause problems
with some email clients - primarily with Windows Outlook.
Attaching the attachment below all message text & signature seems to
solve the Windows opening problem.
Address Book bugged us too, the main issue was how it takes it
upon itself to modify entries.
If a friend is called Simon it would insist on calling them "Simon
simon". It sorts them based on the surnames too I think, which also
peeved us. I was never sure if I sent an email to Simon if it
arrived addressed to Simon simon or just Simon.
You can change Address Book Preferences.
Address Book > Preferences > General:
Sort by : First name or Last name
Display Order: First Name Last Name
or Last Name First Name
