Hi Gary, With attachments it is always best practice to:
1.Always include file extensions (.doc, .pdf etc) 2.Always use ‘Windows-friendly’ format (which omits resource forks, if they exist) usually makes them friendlier for Macs too. To tell Mail to use Windows-friendly encoding for all new messages, choose Edit > Attachments > Always Send Windows-Friendly Attachments (the default setting). 3. Always use the ‘Attach’ button and set Apple Mail to place attachments at the bottom of the message For all messages, with no message window open: Choose Edit > Attachments > Always Insert Attachments at End of Message. Use Rich Text for Graphics.
