Hi:

When you open a file directly from an e-mail, Apple Mail saves the file to a folder called "IncomingWork". Sometimes the permissions get set on this folder not to allow saving. As a result, you end up with the problem you described. It appears to be fixed for me in Tiger...

At the moment, I'm afraid I'm only using NWEx for converting incoming Whirred documents, since there's always someone who doesn't know how to
main plain text conversions. It usually works very well, even with
Japanese documents (except for the "wavy-dash" character, which it
refuses to touch).

But this time, I tried to use Save As and got the message "Couldn't save document". No further clues as to why NWEx couldn't save it, nor what I
could do to persuade it to do so....

This is work. I need to extract this text, but I don't want to go to the
client and ask him to learn how to create plain-text files.


Did you try changing the destination? I know it's not supposed to make
any difference, but...


Didn't think of trying that.... half a mo....

Hey, that worked! But why? The destination was my IncomingWork folder,
which has happily accepted these converted files before....

Thanks.
