Mime is "Base 64". Try that.

I'm a bit confused by this - you've not made yourself very clear.

One way which will work is uu-encoding the file, pasting it into the
email manually, and running it through a uu decoder at the PC end.

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.

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.

ResFork Killer
RSRC fork stripper
ForkZapper

All do the job - info-mac and/or umich.

You need to convert the files first.  For example, the sfnt resource in
a TrueType fount contains the data that's held in a PC .ttf file.  As
far as I know, fount files on Macs keep all the data in the resource
fork.
