what is the deal with entourage encoding word documents to text/plain format?

when I send a .doc file it sends

> This message is in MIME format. Since your mail reader does not understand this format, some or all of this message may not be legible. --B_3126538874_369232 Content-type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit wgart --B_3126538874_369232 Content-type: multipart/appledouble; boundary="B_3126538871_416786" --B_3126538871_416786 Content-type: application/applefile; name="66.doc" Content-transfer-encoding: base64 Content-disposition: attachment

and then the character explosion of a destroyed word doc....

what is the deal with this??

does anyone know of a better Mac mail client? MAIL is a processor hog, entourage obv. has its problems, maybe I should just go back to PINE...

I set my Entourage to send attachments in Windows MIME format after some aol users told me they couldn't read my attachments.

In Mail & News Prefs, under the Compose tab there should be a section that deals with attachments. Set it to Windows (MIME/Base64) and everything should transfer okay.
