Word documents not emailing properly usingAny Computer (AppleDouble)

Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel
Email Client: pop

I am using Word 2008 for my documents, although for external purposes I save them as .doc files instead of .docx. I am using Entourage 208 as my email client. I had, as a default, set the encoding to Any computer (AppleDouble) and extensions turned on which, I understood, would allow me to email my documents to Windows users without any difficulties. However, the documents I am sending to one of my clients (using Outloook 2003) are corrupting. They work when I change the encoding to Windows (MIME/Base64). I do not understand why "Any Computer" does not, apparently, mean "Any Computer".

Neither do I, but I don't get complaints when I use Windows (MIMI/Base 64),
so that's what I use!
