If I were to send a file, on the Windows side, the person would receive the
file along with a much smaller, similarly named version of it as well. The
Windows people cannot open that smaller file. It used to happen with me all
the time with resumes.

That's what AppleDouble is all about -- it literally 'doubles' the
attachments, one is the file, the other is Mac-specific data.
