When I attach a word document, and send it to a recipient, the attachment appears as follows:
x-mac-type="5738424E"
Content-disposition: attachment;
filename="Grove 3-23-2008 0830 AM Order.doc"
Content-transfer-encoding: base64

Which platform are your recipients on? I can see that the encoding is
base64, which should be readable by both Macs and Windows PCs, but just to
be sure, can you go to Entourage>Preferences, Compose, and switch to
AppleDouble encoding (Attachments section) to find out if your recipients
can now see the attachments properly?
