Hi Jonathan,

It's clear enough from comparison with the attachments which I received OK.

Errrr, thanks. What I actually hoped, though, was that there is some
setting to avoid this happening in the first place. I send and receive
dozens of attachment each day, that's why I need a professional mail
application. If I'm left with editing messed up attachments manually
in an editor every second day, I'd rather change to another program.

For the time being, I ask my clients to send me zipped files which
I receive without problems. They keep forgetting about it, though,
so that I have to ask  them to resend their files. And of course I
promised them I would take care of this issue.

Thus, forgive me my little rant - and thanks to you, Jonathan, for
your helpfulness all the way through!

All the best,

Anselm
