please don't attach it.  please, please.

instead, follow this prescription

1.  save as normal ASCII (in Word, that's MSDOS text with linebreaks)
2.  open the ASCII file (in Eudora, there is an option to do this.  if your
mailer doesn't have one, open it in an editor or wordprocessor)
3.  select all (windows95 - ctrl-A)
4.  copy (windows95 - ctrl-C )
5.  move to the mail program, open the mail message and
6.  paste (windows95 - ctrl-V)
7.  finish up your message and send it

This should result in readable text in most cases.
