Hey list,

    A friend told me about this problem today. Looks like everytime I
send him an email with an attachment he gets it correctly except for the
fact that the attachment loses the extension. What I mean is for example
if I attach a file called file.pdf he gets the correct file but named
file (notice the lack of extension .pdf). If he manually renames the
file (adding the .pdf) the file is ok. Note that this seem to happen
with different extension (he can confirm it happened with .doc, .zip and
.pdf).

    Here is a little info on the system. I am running Red Hat 9.0 with
Evo 1.4.5 using only POP servers and he is on Windows 2000 with Outlook
2000. He also told me that it had been happening for a while, this means
that it was happening with previous version of Evo. From the timeframe
he told me it looks that this started after I upgraded to 1.4.2 (I went
from 1.2.5 to 1.4.2).

    As anyone else seen this,

        Mathieu
