>No one else is complaining, so this must be on my end. Mark, You're not alone. I've just discovered the same issue, running CE in Classic with OS 10.4.7. I've tested .jpg and .pdf attachments with a space in the name sent from Mail and picked up in CE. These arrive truncated, e.g "for me.jpg" arrives as "for" and "tuna and ricotta fritters.pdf" arrives as "tuna". If I send from and pick up with CE, the attachments arrive as sent. If I send with CE and pick up with Mail, the attachments arrive as sent. So, I agree with what you found, it seems to be confined to CE receiving attachments sent by Mail when the attachment name has a space in it. I don't know if it's connected or not but about 2 months ago CE suddenly started having trouble downloading attachments. I've been trying to find a solution but no luck so far. The behavior is erractic and there seems to be no consistancy to it. The usual scenario is an attachment starts to download, gets about 1/3 complete and then stops. The download rate goes down to 1.28 k per second. If I leave it, CE eventually times out. After a lot of testing, I've found that to get the email & attachment I have to "try" to get it 3 or 4 times, then wait about 40 minutes, then it comes flying through as it's supposed to. If I wait the 40 minutes without "trying" to get it, it doesn't download. Very, very occasionally,downloading works on the first try ! If I use MAIL there is never a problem with downloading attachments, so I'm assuming it is CE or perhaps Classic or both, but can find no corruption. CE sends attachments without problem. My ISP does not support CE and felt it couldn't be their fault when I told them MAIL worked flawlessly. Yesterday I installed a fresh copy of CE, did not transfer anything from my old program and still had the problem. It was just by chance that the first email test I did on my new CE happened to be an attachment with a space in the name. And that's how I discovered the truncation problem you were reporting. If anyone has any ideas about my downloading problem, I'd appreciate any input as I've tried everything I can think of and am not getting any closer to a solution.
