This is caused by the way the file is being attached, and thus seen by Eudora.
Because RTF is a 7 bit ascii data format, there is no need to "encode" the file. The sending email client will simply mark the file as an attachment, in text format. When Eudora receives it, it sees that it is just inline text, and it sticks it in as part of the body text. (This can also not be Eudora's fault, but could be the sending client deciding to stick the text into the body with no attachment marker at all... I'd have to see a raw email to really point the blame). There probably isn't much that can be done other than request the senders first compress the file. That will turn it into an 8 bit archive, which will then be handled in the more "normal" way for attachments. Or, since RTF doesn't have anything special about it, he could just copy and paste the data out of the email body, and into a new text file. That should enable him to save it again, and reopen it as RTF into word or whatever he wants to use. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
