Zeph, I can't comment much on your own issue (although I realise that you started this thread), but with regard to Willaim Lisowski's problem my point was that the sit is probably supposed to be on the end. Here is my suspected sequence of events:
1. file.pdf is compressed by sender, resulting in file.pdf.sit (a badly named file) 2. It is emailed. 3. PM receives it and doesn't deal with the double suffix at all well; it reads the first one in the file name (.pdf) and stops at that point, thus PM doesn't invoke Expander to decode the file. So now the user has a stuffit file that the machine has decided is a PDF -- obviously this will cause problems until the file is decoded with expander. I'm guessing with all this but that's what I would assume is happening in that scenario. But your original post specified OS9 and if memory serves OS9 was much less fussy about periods in file names, so I'm not sure what is going on there. All I do know is that a friend emailed me a PDF this evening and my set up (see sig.) received it fine -- but AFAIK it wasn't stuffed.
