Hi Iblulu2,
The information outlined below details how to go about sending attachments in a way that they can be opened or saved by people receiving them on non-Apple computers.
Send attachments to Windows users
Follow these suggestions:
Make sure you send Windows-friendly attachments. To do so for all messages, from the main Mail window choose Edit > Attachments, then make sure Always Send Windows-Friendly Attachments is selected. For a specific message, click the Attach button
in the toolbar of the message window, then make sure Send Windows-Friendly Attachments is selected.
Instead of sending a Pages, Keynote, or Numbers document, export the document as a PDF, then send the PDF.
Use filename extensions (such as .docx for a Microsoft Word document).
If the recipient sees two attachments (such as “MyFile” and “._MyFile”), the file with the underscore (such as “._MyFile”) can be ignored.
If the message size located on the left side of the message header is red, the attachments are causing your message to exceed size limits set by your email account provider. Try reducing the number or size of attachments or, if available for your email account, use Mail Drop.
Mail (Yosemite): Add attachments
