I am on Mac G4, OS9.1 and using Outlook Express 5.01.
This morning I prepared a 4mb image file (A0036D23.tif) which I then dropped on Aladdin Dropstuff, which resulted in my file name being A0036D23.tif.sit and sent it to the printer via email.
Reg:
One issue might be with the file name as it contains two "." (periods). This can be quite confusing to some systems, especially if the recipient is trying to "unstuff" on a windows machine.
If you place the file within a folder, dropstuff will give it the name of the folder + .sit. If you take several images at one time and dropstuff you will get "archive.sit" as a result. It's only when you do a single image that you get things like "A0036D23.tif.sit" which cause problems.
Don't forget you can also simply "cut" out the ".tif" above to get "A0036D23.sit" which may work just fine.
I'd also suggest placing this on your website (or the clients FTP site) instead of sending by email. There are numerous problems with email for large attachments (especially given the lastest SCO worm). See the two articles titled "Making Digital Submissions more Secure
Creating a 'wrapper'" and "Getting that file from Point A to point B
Mastering File transfers" on my website at (http://www.riecks.com/digitalinfo.html) for my thoughts on this topic.
