Hi guys:
 
Yes the admins changed the Linux sendmail server by an MS exchange server 2003 after the Hard disk of the original server crashed. No idea that Exchange was doing that. It is very conftable and the interface is pretty, but as usual coming from MS so broken. I'll send .zips next time.
 
Regards
Waldo Alvarez

It looks to be a MS Outlook problem. I remember getting dat file before
from people using it. Instead of just send all the file seperatly it
mashes them into one.

Not sure what the fix is. Zip them up and send the zip should solve it tho'/
