Have the Mac person try this:

   Go in to Mail, Preferences -> Composing.  The top preference is:

       Composing:  Message Format:

   "Rich Text" is probably selected.  Pick "Plain Text" instead.

This is a good idea in general, but it also affects one
specific and obscure corner case: Mac user forwarding
a received email which includes an attachment.  When
Mac Mail forwards with Rich Text, the generated MIME has
a tree structure that some MUAs don't handle.  The
attachment is there but the MUA won't see it.

  >Sometimes the emails never arrive (or so people claim, never happens to
  >me)
  >Sometimes her emails end up in the junk mail folder (again, never
  >happens to me)

Can't help you there, at least not without much more info.
The first thing I'd check, though, are the account settings
on the Mac.  Maybe there's a mismatch between the claimed
account name (foo@bar.com) and the SMTP server (nonfoo@server.bar.com)
that's triggering antispam rules?

G'luck,
