| 399703 | 2005-10-27 00:56:00 | Thanks - seems simple enough, will see how "they" go doing that then, believe me, i have found alot of things that should be simple turning into major dramas in the past few days with regard to the mac and pcs O.S, Programs & formats, lol. What really doesn't help is the fact that although they use them (Macs), they are not really competent with alot of things on their own systems - add me to the equasion, who hasn't really ever used a mac... - i had to walk "them" through forwarding something to me the other day ;). Guess that means that Mac Mail and Apple Mail are the same then? Thanks for the help and patience, most appreciated :). |

| 399704 | 2005-10-27 01:36:00 | Tell them to read this (docs.info.apple.com) if indeed they are actually using OS X Mail. Basically, get he mac user to add the file extension (which is pretty standard in OS X now) and strip out those data resource forks. Oh I know all about the Mac and PC format "dramas" ;) Quite amusing to see someone who has downloaded a PC program and tries to install it on their mac. The problems are usually as the result of people using uncommon file formats and can't understand why the recipent doesn't have a program to open it. |
