[Macpartners] MIME Types with Eudora and OS X

[Jacob Morzinski]

Hi,

I don't know the solution to Chris's problem, but I want to speak
up to urge people to be cautious about using uuencode or binhex.

These formats are old, and not well supported any more.
Choosing these encodings could make your attachments hard to
read, because you are depending on your recipient to have a mail
program that supports these old formats.

Uuencode or binhex may work in special situations, but I would
strongly recommend using MIME encoding unless you have particular
reason to believe it won't work.


Regards,
