One thing and this might be common sense (but so often it would get overlooked). Treat your email like your cover letter. I used to get tons where there was no message - just a resume attached. No message. No "HEY I NEED A JOB". Nothing. Needless to say they were all sent to the circular file.

Thanks for the responses guys. I think I'll go with pdf. I've always personalized every resume I send out, and I'll keep doing it.
JH, Would you consider the following email to be sufficient so accompany a cover letter/resume?
