Hello again Marta,
As I mentioned, the Debug menu has to be enabled (turned on). If you
re-read the message, you can do this in a couple of ways:
1) Get Safari Enhancer from versiontracker.com, and run it.
2) Use the terminal app to turn it on via the following:
>> To turn on Safari's Debug Menu, Quit Safari, launch Terminal and type:
>> defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1
>> Launch Safari and the Debug Menu will be active.
>>
>> To turn off Safari's Debug Menu, Quit Safari, launch Terminal and
>> type:
>> defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 0
>> Launch Safari and the Debug Menu will be inactive.
>>
>> Once the debug menu is on, you can tell Safari to send out the signal
>> to the server that it is IE running on windows.
On to other things:
To send your files so that they are completely windoze friendly, you
must make sure the extensions are part of the file name, for example a
M$ Word document file must end in .doc (name.doc) etc. Sending files as
Windows Friendly attachments makes it easier to get the file through
emails servers in a form that windoze email programs will be able to
work with.

I will use it or not, but I will come up with one.
