Can anyone explain this:

I am using Eudora 6.1 on a Mac running OS X 10.3  A correspondent who 
uses AOL cannot open explicit attachments, regardless of whether I use 
Apple Double, Apple Single, BinHex, or Uuencode. However, if I paste the 
attachment, a .jpg in the case in question, directly into the mail form, 
turning the mail into .html and making the .jpg an implicit attachment, 
it goes through fine.

My correspondent insists that I'm the only person whose attachments she 
can't open.  I suppose it's possible that I'm the only one using Eudora, 
though it seems unlikely.

Herb
