Zeph, I can't comment much on your own issue (although I realise that you started this thread), but with regard to Willaim Lisowski's problem my point was that the sit is probably supposed to be on the end. Here is my suspected sequence of events: 1. file.pdf is compressed by sender, resulting in

William; I'm wondering if the problem is partly due to the name of the file (newsletter.pdf.sit) having 2 periods in it? Although not often a major problem, this is a bad naming policy since it has the potential to confuse the computer about what the file name suffix is. I know that you have no

Try checking the file mappings. I believe that PowerMail uses these settings to assign type/creator codes to (PC) files as they are received. The most straightforward way to do this in in the File Exchange control panel, under the PC Exchange tab (although you can also use the Internet control p
