When I email to a windows pc the person receiving says all they get is a bunch of odd characters. I remember reading something about this some time ago. It had something to do with different ways of decompressing the file. Unfortunately, I don't have the information I need anymore. Does anyone know how this problem can be fixed?

The guy I was emailing has aol which could be part of the problem? I think I used my mac email program to send it. I sent out some test emails for people who have outlook express. They both have earthlink so they can also use web mail. Hopefully, that way I can isolate the problem.
