I'm not sure that this is a PowerMail problem, but hey, this list is a
good place to start.

Lately, certain seemingly random attachments, come through in a
triplicate, garbled form.  

Example:  My daughter sent me some pictures of her spring break trip to
Washington DC.  All of the .jpg's came through just fine, except for one
file, "whitehouse.jpg" that appeared in my DownLoad folder as
"whitehouse.jpg", "whitehouse.1.jpg", and "whitehouse.1.jpg.b64".  The
"whitehouse.1.jpg.b64" file has a generic icon, while the other two have
the standard .jpg icon.

However, if I dbl-click on "whitehouse.jpg", I get this Photoshop error
message:  "Could not complete your request because a JPEG marker segment
length is too short (the file may be truncated or incomplete)."

If I dbl-click on "whitehouse.1.jpg.b64" I get this Finder dialog: "There
is no default application specified to open the document
"whitehouse.1.jpg.b64". Choose Application".  If I try to "choose"
Stuffit Deluxe, that selection is grayed-out, although MacLinkPlus
identifies the file as "Text PC file".

But if I dbl-click on "whitehouse.1.jpg", it opens just fine in Photoshop.

This has happened before to random .jpg's, and to one had-to-have-it-now
Illustrator file.  It reminded me of those Star Trek episodes when the
Transporter malfunctions - usually depositing the Klingon ambassador as a
puddle on the Transporter Room floor.
