It's the ZoneAlarm MailSafe that's changing the extension (you can see
that in the ZA logs). Have you tried turning off MailSafe? (I haven't,
so I don't know if it solves the problem, but it should.)

I don't know any way around it. I keep attachments in the message
body, and save them to a folder when I want to work with them, so it's
not a major problem for me to change the name when I'm saving.
Nevertheless, it is annoying sometimes when I just want to quickly
check something in an attached file.

Dierk and Marcus said it's a Mac problem -- it's not. I know one of
the people I get these files from is using Eudora 5.1 on a Win2K PC.

A typical example from the message source is:
Content-Type: application/msword; name=      "0515ThymidineOrg.doc; 
x-mac-type=42494E41; x-mac-creator=4D535744"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="0515ThymidineOrg.doc"

As you can see, the "doc" extension is in there.

The MailSafe log line is
MS,2002/05/15,23:41:52 +10:00 GMT,thebat.exe,Renamed email attachment 
0515ThymidineOrg.doc"; x-mac-type="42494E41"; x-mac-creator="4D535744 to 
0515ThymidineOrg.doc; x-mac-type=42494E41; x-mac-creator=4D535744,N/A
