I would suggest zipping the files. Try Zipit. Also, how is he uncompressing
the files you send him? Have him try Aladdin's Expander for the PC and/or
the newest version of WinZip 8. Do the files have the correct extensions for
Windows to know what to do with them, such as .xls for Excel? I occasionally
get an emailed file on my PC that is junk. I have been able to add the
extension .uue (MIME format) and then have WinZip 8 extract my files.
Hope that helps,
