Wrong attachment sent

I am using OS 10.2.6 and Entourage 10.1.1. Just recently I sent an
email with a .pdf attachment and got a message from the receiving
party that the attachment received was not the file I sent but
actually a Excel file that had nothing remotely to do with the email
of the attachment.
I rechecked my sent mail and it showed a .pdf attachment ( with
correct file name) but when I tried to open it, it told me the file
had been corrupted! Any ideas on why and how this happens?

It sound like some files have been cross linked. You probably need to repair
your disk with a utility like DiskWarrior. You can try using Disk First Aid
by booting from the Mac OS X install CD and choosing disk repair in the
Install menu, but this only fixes a few things.

Also try rebuilding your Entourage database by holding down option when it
is launching. This might be a sign of database corruption.
