Actually, what MAY have happened was that the sender of the email may have inadvertently compressed the file. Some MacOS email clients by default compress all attachments using StuffIt -compatible compression. They may or may not add a new file suffix to the end of the filename AND your Windows-based email client may or may not recognize the Mac compression and encoding. On both Mac and Windows, for the highest level of cross-platform compatibility, it is best to use MIME-encoding with no compression. Note that this is often not the default of Mac email clients. - Dov At 6/15/2002 01:23 PM, Anders Kjellberg wrote: >Thanks to all who responded both on and off list, I really appreciate it. My problem was a FM-file I had received via mail. It had the FM-extension and it was created on FM 6.0 on a Mac, but for some reason I couldn't open it with FM 6 on a PC. Double klicking the file gave me an unkown file type error and trying to open it from within Frame gave me same result. > >The solution: the guy mailed me a new file. He didn't do anything different with either the file or the transmission, but this time it worked like a charm, no problems whatsoever when opening. I have no idea what happened to/with the first file, but somehow it must have been corrupted somewhere in cyberspace. > >/Anders Kjellberg ** To unsubscribe, send a message to majordomo@omsys.com ** ** with "unsubscribe framers" (no quotes) in the body. ** ** To unsubscribe, send a message to majordomo@omsys.com ** ** with "unsubscribe framers" (no quotes) in the body. **
