Im trying to attach a word (.doc format) document to someone's gmail account. ive saved the file in MS Word 2004's default format. Im using mail.app (with my .mac account).

the problem is the person recieving it gets all garbled text. it ussed to work fine before but now this is constantly happening. I tried it with two different people's gmail and its the same thing.

What gives ?

Are you sending 'Windows friendly' attachments (Edit....Attachments...)? That might help.

If the problem continues, create a .zip archive of the file and e-mail that instead.

That was it. thanks...kinda retarded to not have that enabled by default if u ask me.

With the Zip files.... thats an option as well.

Thanks.
