I've said that specialised attachments give me no real problems, though
if I were doing any of those things you mention I almost certainly
wouldn't try to transfer the data using email. I'd put the files on web
pages or on some ftp site. But either way, I'd first send an email
saying "What formats can you read?" because you can't assume that the
recipient can process any specific format. Of course, if the reply was
"PostScript" I could send it in ASCII! :-))
