Well, first off, you probably aren't going to get this message -- that's
half the problem. I've tried "munging" what you wrote so that this E-mail
will get through, but then you'll have to de-munge what I write. That's
just a problem inherent to filters.
How did you send the attachment? Was it through a mail client, or web
messaging? Was it MIME encoded, uuencoded, Microsoft's TNEF or encoded
some other way? Was the .ex e file compressed?
Note that MIME usually has quotes around the filenames, but not always,
which could account for the problem.
