Word documents, Excel Spreadsheets, Zip Files, etc. However, mail sent from one specific outside address arrives with an attachment, attachment has name "minutes.doc" but it is not a word document. It is all text, looks like a mime or uuencoded document. Here are the first few lines: 0M8R4KGxGuEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPgADAP7/CQAGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABAAAALgAAAAAA AAAA EAAAMAAAAAEAAAD+////AAAAAC0AAAD///////////////////////////////////////// EAAAMAAAAAEAAAD+//// //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// //// //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// //// //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// //// //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// //// //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// //// //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// //// //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ///s pcEAayAJBAAA8BK/AAAAAAAAEAAAAAAABAAADxEAAA4AYmpiah+uH64AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAA If that same outside user send the same file to my America Online address it works just fine. Outside user claims they are using Outlook. Header from AOL says: X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook IMO, Build 9.0.2416 (9.0.2911.0) Importance: Normal X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2600.0000 Any ideas?
