I suspect this is a setting to only send the data fork with Base64 encoding. All e-mail programs that are MIME-aware should be able to handle AppleDouble+Base64 because both are MIME standards. I've had no trouble using that setting when I send to Windows machines, but I don't use Entourage. | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be March 25.
