MacOS files need no extensions (XLS, DOC. etc.), yet they may come with an additional part that isn't of use on other systems. So you may receive two attachments for every file the sender originally attached. If I'm not mistaken MacOS mailers should be capable to 'flatten' such files so that only one attachment shows. As to the missing extension - see further down below. Also read: http://www.ufaq.org/navcom/multilinks.html > is this BAT's security against the virus???

Ask your correspondents to add a creator specific extension to their files before they send them to you (even though the extension aren't needed in a MacOS environment), e.g. they should add .doc to MS Word files. If possible they should also check if they can set their mail programs to omit the resource fork (that's the part you don't need). HTH.
