My understanding is that the encoded resource fork is simply ignored by
Windows. Certainly that's what happens for me between home and work.
AppleDouble is the 'best' encoding because of just this.

So you added some text to the message, via drag and drop, or did you create
an attachment from a clipping file? If the latter then I wouldn't be
surprised at Windows not knowing how to cope with it. If the former then
there is a different issue because the encoding referred to is for
attachments, not the message itself.
