Always send Windows-friendly attachments in Mail
Authored by: jason mark on Oct 30, '04 10:11:50AM

It's such a bummer, because this sort of behavior from Apple is the reason that I have clients roll their eyes at me and say "oh yeah, you guys use Macintoshes, I'm really glad we don't have any of them. You can't even share files with PCs". It's really embarassing, and a real black eye on Apple.

We have Entourage for anyone in the office who interacts with Windows users.

There are 3 things Apple would need to do to have a Mail.app work in a business:
1) Allow sending of attachements that Windows users can read EVERY TIME.
2) Allow priorities on messages
3) Add a usable search. Most people in our office have over a gig of information, and the little fluffy "smart search" in the corner of Mail.App just doesn't hack it. You really need an advanced search. I cringe when I hear about Tiger's new search, because I expect it to be as crappy as Mails... although who knows.
