Usually AOL automatically moves any tiff or eps files by compressing them
and sending them to the recipient. If this is being done through a regular
isp then files are usually zipped(win) or stuffed(mac) by the sender as self
extracting attachments. Your best option is to get off of AOL and get a
regular e-mail address for business purposes. If you need any more
assistance contact me at my business address ed_at_weekender.co.jp or visit
http://www.weekender.co.jp to see what i do in real life.
