Have you verified that the Temp Incoming folder is empty. I have found 
that sometimes, with OS X, Emailer will "recover" from a bad Temp file, 
and run, but other times crash. Maybe you have one in there that is 
causing this.

Otherwise, since it works under OS 9, I would check to make sure the same 
extensions are loaded for 9 as for Classic in X.

You are right, it probably isn't caused by a .DS_Store file, since so far 
existance of that file has not caused any crashing, just unpack failures.

But to clarify, that file can appear regardless of if you have opened the 
Temp Incoming folder or not. If the Finder feels for any reason it needs 
to know something about the layout of that folder, the file will exist.

Things I have found that create the file are:

1. Copying the folder (ie: restore from backup, or duplicate the folder)
2. Open the folder
3. Have the Emailer Files folder open when the Temp Incoming folder is 
created.
4. Access the folder via the terminal (this fits with #2, but is 
important to mention because it can prevent the terminal deletion of the 
file from working right)
5. Cause the Finder felt like it (ie: there is at least a #5 that I 
haven't figured out yet)

And NONE of the above will guarentee that the file will be created, just 
all of the above can cause it to be created. I haven't yet really figured 
out when the Finder decides to or not to create the file, I have only 
found that the above items have resulted in the file being created.
