Just a guess - yes. I year or so ago, I sent my mother a message with two attached pics to her AOL account. She received one zip-file as attachment (but it carried the .zip extension). While she found out how to use WinZip, she considered it incovenient to have to unzip attachments and therefore asked me to send any messages with attachments to her other account - which she can check with TB. So I don't know whether this problem persists at AOL, but clearly ISPs have funny ideas sometimes. So the concerned recipient's ISP *could have* zipped the file but fogotten to change the extension, weird as it sounds. -- Cheers, Thomas. Moderator der deutschen The Bat! Beginner Liste.
