Just as a data point, I send attachments Appledoubled (by far the best
form of encoding because it's absolutely fine for PeeCee users while
preserving all the Mac information for those that can make use of it) to
AOL users and never have any trouble. Using Eudora 6.1.1 with OS 10.2.6
and OS 9.2.2.

It sounds like your recipient might have a broken system but it's just
possible that upgrading from Eudora 6.1 to 6.1.1 might make a
difference. It shouldn't- I've been sending Appledoubled attachments to
AOL users for years with versions of Eudora from 1.3 something onwards.
