Jpeg attachment probles when sending from Mail to windows mail applications

Question

hi guys. I hope someone can help me as I have been going round in circles for months with this problem.
The task is to send a jpeg attachment - simple isn't it!
No problems attaching it, whether is embeded or viewed as an icon, that's ok. i have selected the option "always send windows friendly attachments" too.
The problem is on the other end. Pretty much every time I get an email back saying that the images are embeded on the email and cannot be saved (right click, save as...) nor they appear listed as attachments. Not only that, but most times they also appear deformed with weird dimensions and loss of quality.
Can someone help me out here, as you can all imagine sending images is pretty common these days, and whether we like it or not, most people use PCs still

I'm afraid that you don't really have the same problem. You may have the same symptoms but you are not using the same email program, the same server (unless you are also using Gmail), and you are encoding your emails in a Mac specific format.

I did find a tech blurb that said: "On the Macintosh, the default encoding method for attachments has been changed from BinHex to AppleDouble. This default works across platforms with all MIME-compliant email programs, including Eudora and Microsoft's Outlook Express and Outlook 98."
I quit using Eudora when OS 10.2 came out, so I don't know much more about changing your method of encoding. I checked and the last version of Eudora came out in 2006. Qualcomm has discontinued development for Eudora and none of my clients are using it since it has become a dead end. The last version of Eudora is reported to work with Leopard if you make some changes in the sound files. There is still access to the support forums here:

I guess that Thunderbird is the recommended program for Eudora users to migrate to if you don't want to use Apple Mail.
You should probably start your own thread with the words "Eudora Attachments" in the title so that people who are using Eudora will see the name of the program and respond with up to date information.
