The .sxc spreadsheet attachments comes from another source (another sender). In both cases the extensions show up in the original E-mail itself When I open the attachments to the E-Mail with the .sxw attachemnts, they open fine. When I open the attachments to the E-Mail with the .sxc attachments, the .sxc file extension is gone. In both cases I used the same opening procedure. With this new information, can anyone say what the problem is?
How do I find the file extension preferences to see what they are set at?
