Hi there;

I just tried to send a self extracting stuffit archive for windows, and
figured that since it was effectively a windows file (it has an .exe
suffix) and was going to a windows user I should use Base64 encoding. PM
threw up a warning saying that it had reverted the encoding choice to
Smart because Base 64 would corrupt the file. I appreciate the warning
from PM but an confused by it; AFAIK windows files (even applications
like this self extracting archive) don't have resource forks so why would
Base64 be unsuitable?

I've not sent the file yet, I thought I'd see if I could get a quick
response from the list to set my mind at ease before I send it on its way.

Cheers as always;
Rick
