I send email including Macintosh resources and types, AppleDouble
encoding, and MIME quoted-printable encoding if necessary.  This is
using Eudora Light 3.1.3.

I've sent attachments which did contain Mac resources (JPEGs with
previews and thumbnail custom icons), and they've been received
successfully by people using Outlook and Eudora on Wintel boxes - as far
as I can gather, the resources etc., are just discarded.
