Thanks, Kim, I'll be sure to check on that. And it is entirely possible she's got an ancient version of Stuffit, as she'd just upgraded from a pretty old Mac machine (which still sits on the other side of her office, I believe) and I expect she loaded some of the old programs on to the new machine. Stuffit may have been one of them. Or it could also be the setting problem too - I've had that happen often enough on my PC. I think if I can get over to her place some time soon, I'll go to the URL Franni put up and download Stuffit and save these emails to a disk to take with me. I should be able to get it sorted out one way or another now.
