I have had so many cases of Windows people not being able to
properly get attachments via Mail that I am starting to lose
confidence in attaching things. Mostly pics are ok. But animated
gifs and QT movies are a problem it seems. I tend to resort to
making a web page and loading up to a server and giving a link.
At least I half know how this works. But I am much puzzled by the
Mail communication route. I usually can see attachments sent to
me fine. But if I forward them, I get blank stares back?

Here is an example (it is an animated gif):

Is there some particular way one should be sending this in
Mail.app to maximize the chances of it being well received on
Winboxes?

Sending out video clips via email is a terrible idea. You would be much
better off just posting the clips, photos, etc. on a web site and
emailing a link to the content to whomever you want to see it.
