For what it's worth, when sending picture and sound files from Eudora on my
Mac to a friend on AOL who uses a PC, I use Appledouble and just attach the
file without encoding- I let Eudora Mime it and he seems to get the files
perfectly okay.

Where this fails is with things like fonts which, as far as I can see, have
almost all the data in the resource fork. But AIFF files generated by
SoundApp transfer perfectly. I think the PC just discards the resource fork
information.
