Can you try any of the following? I presume that if you're running Emailer, you are in OS 9.x, and you are not running Emailer in OS X. So perhaps your errant file is on the OS 9 Desktop, not the OS X Desktop. 1. Drag the bad file from the Emailer attachment window (at the top of the message) directly to the Trash. Empty the trash. 2. If the bad file is on the Desktop, or in a folder, make a new file of exactly the same name in another folder, and drag the new file onto the Desktop or folder where the old file is. When you see the "...do you want to replace it?" message, answer "Yes." 3. Get a utility such as Filetyper, open the file in Filetyper, and make it visible. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Roger S.
