On a PC, just rename the thing with a ".eps" extension. On the Mac, first try opening Illustrator and forcing it to open the file. If it simply can't recognize it, try Word, or Claris works (both have eps translators). The rename trick might work with MacOS Easy Open (OS 8.x), too. If all else fails, use Norton Disk Editor or ResEdit to open a "good" eps file, and note the application and filetype codes, and make these the same on the troublesome file. Should work then.

Subject: [IMail Forum] Help: attachments from macs

An eps file attached to a message using Netscape 4.5 on a MAC
cannot be read successfully on receipt. It seems to have become a plain text file.
Any ideas ? (I know eps files are text but they seem to have some other 'property' (not an extrension) on macs which makes them usable by say illustrator etc. This property is what gets lost.
