But if message is saved and then opened in Outlook, then file(s) are viewable [Both files and Resource forks]. If they Stuff the file first, the problem does not exist. So far it only seems PDF's are problematic. Or if I go ahead and save the file first and then double click and open it, then that work fine. (NOTE Name seems to pick up the resource fork name. It has the % appended to the beginning.) NOTE: <a href="http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=185230">Bug 185230 - Corrupted PDF files arriving at recipiants email.</a> Is similar, but different in that files I SENT from a Windows NT4 machine were corrupted when they arrive. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have someone on a mac attach a DPF file to an email 2. email it to you on a windows machine 3. You SHOULD see <B>two</b> files <SAMPLE> test.pdf %test.pdf </sample> Actual Results: But what I've seen was just the %test.pdf file. And when I attempt to open it, it says it's not a pdf file. But if I save it, and then double click that file. I CAN open it. Expected Results: You should be able to open up the file the first attempt.
