<snip> But the issue is the way Apple encodes MIME attachments in Mail.app. They actually followed the rules, as laid out in RFC 1521 (the RFC's are the documents in which the standards and rules for the Internet are laid out. In this case, RFC 1521 <http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/cgi-bin/rfc/rfc1521.html> defines what an e-mail message is supposed to look like, how it's supposed to be encoded, so that all e-mail clients work together, seamlessly (in theory).)
<big snip> Many email clients look at the 'name=' field to split up files. The ones that do, break here because the second attachment of the same name over-rides the first one, because they ignore the whole 'Appledouble' file type thing.
THIS is why things get broken.
sending as 'Windows friendly' in 10.3 results in a single attachment for the file.
Kudos Bruce. The clearest explanation I have seen yet. Great explanation of the "Send windows friendly attachment" feature.
Thanks,
