Jerry,
I had not had any trouble with corrupted files before emailed from that
machine.
But you never know
So I copied the vcard to my sandisk flashdisk (what a handy gadget that
is!!) and then moved it to the 9600 via that method and it worked!
So I guess it was indeed a bad file.
Thank
Ann, if it would help, you can borrow my old Palm m105 and its cradle
to make the transfer. Email me off-list if you like.
(I know it won't solve the greater mystery, but it might at least let
you go on to more interesting projects. ;-) )

Well I am completely stumpedagain.
After your several excellent advice about how to get my palm addresses

powerbook, I decided to try moving it from the pc to my 9600 Mac running
OS9.1.
My pda is dead and I didn't want to spend

Then I tried dragging the vcard icon on the desktop over the Palm icon

Does the file have a vcf extension?

Yep.
Contacts.vcf
and (another attempt)
vcards.vcf

And, trying the drag-over-Palm-icon method again, here is exactly the
error message:
*The file could not be imported.*
The file is of an unsupported type, or the file contents are invalid.
(If that sheds any more light than my previous misquote.)

Do you have any troubles with other kinds of documents that you email
to your Mac from your pc?
If so your pc's email program may be mangling the attachment so that OS
9.1 cannot read it correctly. Try some of the other methods for
attachments (bin-hex, binary, etc.)
I seem to recall that in
