Everytime I send an email with attachments using Mail.app, the attachments seems to be sent twice, one in some sort of currupt way, and the other one fine. Anyone knows how can I fix this? or at least what is the cause of this?
Thanks in advance.

this has been asked and answered many many many many times. Try doing a forum search before you post.
---------
make sure an attachment is the very last thing in your email (no text afterward).
Sometime you will still seemingly send two attachments. This is because HFS+ has resource forks. Don't worry, one of the attachments should work, the other can be ignored.
finally, this issue should be resolved by the impending Panther Mail.app.

He's right pgb...do a search.. 
I've been plaqued with this since day one! I went to Entourage cause most PC users don't know and get confused sometimes when they get two attachements instead of one 
Here's hoping that the new Panther version will fix this once and for all!!

I heard from someone who was testing Panther that Mail gave an option in the Attach file dialog box to send "Windows friendly" attachments.

In the meantime, a quick way to fix is this is to use FileBuddy (or PathFinder, or terminal.app, or whatever) to delete the resource fork of the file you're sending, assuming you know that the file doesn't require the resource fork to be functional.
Adobe files, for example, place a preview in the resource fork. The file will work fine without it on Windows, but if you email it to a Windows-using person using mail.app, they'll receive two attachments and get confused.
