If it's only seen in Windows email clients, it's very easily explained. Entourage by default sends attachments encoded as "Apple Double" - separating the data fork from the resource fork. Mac recipients reassemble the files into one automatically. Windows files don't have resource forks, so Windows doesn't know what to do with the resource forks. They aren't needed but are visible: they serve no purpose there and can just be ignored. This seems to make some Windows users paranoid. If your client is all worked up about it he should simply change the encoding to "MIME/base64" in the Attachments pane of the message he's writing before sending the message to a known Windows recipient. (Click the long narrow button at the bottom of the attachments pane to bring up the encoding window.)
