Because the recipient's system can't cope with attached files.  It it could 
have, the Word file would have presented no problems.
Bruce offers a workaround but I'd be inclined to tell the recipient to 
install a mailer capable of sending and receiving attached files.  There are 
enough out there.
Take care,
