When I send an e-mail to one particular person my attachments are inserted into the body of the e-mail as garabage when she receives it. Does you know why this would happen?

The segment that you showed is a uuencoded file. She is seeing this because your mail program encodes your attachment using uuencode and her mail program doesn't know how to handle it.

What mail program are you using and what mail program is sheusing?

I am using Outlook and she is using Outlook also. I am on Exchange 5.5, but I am not sure what she is work on.

Hi !

This happens due to the form in which you are sending the mail is not being capable of read at the receiver end.

These can happen due to the change of OS, change in Mail Client and some times the default condition for sending the messages.
If it is in the UUEncoded form then you can use the MIME Decoder to decode it if you get it garbaged.

On this site only, you can seacrh for TNEF attachments and you will get in the Technical Questions and answers section and then you will get the link to download the utility.
There are other sites also.
