when this happens, it is best to educate the PC user and explain how to save the attachment even if it does not have a paperclip showing.
Just Right Click on the image and choose the option to save the image.
The "Windows Friendly Attachment" thing in Mail is not for this, it just makes sure that the attachments have the required extension attached to it when it is sent. (like .doc, .jpg, etc.)
You could also take a look at how the Mac user is attaching the attachments.
Mail will tend to put the attachment at the current cursor position which could be at the bottom of the email by the time the user decides to make the attachment.
See if attaching first, before composing the text, makes any difference.

We have a Mac user trying to send attachments in an email to a PC recipient. She is using Apple's Mail app. Whenever she tries to attach a file - a JPEG for instance - it seems to attach as an inline graphic rather than a normal attachment. The PC recipient gets no paperclip symbol on their end, and can't do anything with it. I'm assuming this may be a preference setting in Mail, but can't seem to find where to change it. Turning on the "Send Windows-friendly attachments" seems to make no difference.
