In regarding e-mailing Finale files, I have one rule: I don't.
For your own protection and safety, never e-mail them, no matter how computer savvy or non-savvy the composer or client is. There are many pitfalls as to what can happen to your documents after they've been e-mailed to the next party, or the next, or the next. Always keep the hard copy of your work. It's not very costly to just print out a hard copy of the score (I print two: one for myself, and one for the client), and a set of however many parts. The client splits the cost of paper printing and postage with me. If they need another copy in the future, then I mail another copy. My layout and usage of other tools is complicated, and most of my documents look the same. If they're altered somehow, other attributes can easily be screwed up in a bad way...Never e-mail...always snail mail. This is for your own protection (I feel).
Also, if you relocate or relinquish the work, leave a forwarding address or the name and contact information of a successor or replacement, so you don't leave the client high and dry. You can always contact me, as well (signature at end).
