I accidentally discovered that there is an 'Always Send Windows Friendly Attachments' option in the Attachments sub-menu of the Edit menu which does just this. This will strip the attachment of the resource forks, which makes it Windows friendly. Of course if you send this to a Mac, it will still work OK.
[robg adds: I didn't realize this option was there, either, as you can only see the "Always" version in the Edit -> Attachments menu when looking at your main window. If you're already working on an email with an attachment, the sub-menu applies only to that email. Also note that if you send 'traditional' Mac programs to other Mac users, you do *not* want to strip the resource forks. A good number of Mac apps (older ones in particular) still keep a bunch of stuff in the resrouce fork.]
