the stupid word doc/ email attachment bug that we've talked here about a few months ago
You can't send Word X files to people using a webmail to read their mails. They won't be able to open the file they can download.
That is wrong. Of the four webmail clients we tested here (horde, squirrel mail, neomail and Webmail) only one had a problem with this (the commercial, expensive, Webmail), so it's entirely dependent on the webmail client, and it is NOT a bug; in fact it's exactly the way the standards say the e-mail is to be constructed.
In OS X 10.3 you can set Mail to send 'Windows Safe' attachments, or you can control-click on the file in finder, select archive and send the compressed Zip file to them.
