Thanks Chris,
 
I thought that too, zip it all up, but getting the guys to use stuffit ...
The problem is sending messages internally, from a web browser on a mac here
to be read via another web browser on mac, nothing else is involved.
I can do it on the one mac - compose using web messaging, attach an eps file and send it to myself. On receipt, web messaging thinks the attachment is a text file.
 
Thanks again

As a print shop we see EPS files every hour.  Some email systems (AOL for example) really can screw up a attachment.
The only true way to guarantee file integrity is to either Stuffit or WinZip it.

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.
