Yes, apple mac files have two forks. It looks like you are using 'appledouble' as your encoding method, which is fine for mac & windows users, except that windows users get the empty resource fork file showing as a second data file (in most cases, certainly when document files are being sent, the resource fork can be safely discarded)
The work-round it to inform your recipients to ignore the empty file, or to use base64 encoding which will effectively ignore the resource fork - OK for most files being sent to windows. -- Barry > From: George <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: "Entourage:mac Talk" <[email protected]> > Date: Tue, 22 May 2007 13:41:27 -0700 > To: "Entourage:mac Talk" <[email protected]> > Subject: Encoding attachment Encoding attachment > > When I send an email with an attachment I see Encoding attachment displayed > twice.
