      i’ve noticed lately that my PQ’s are in .zm9 format. my firewall/antivirus does not like them. what happened to straight .zip format?

          Just a stab in the dark, but are you using ZoneAlarm? I seem to remember something similar happening to me where attachments were renamed as a protection against the evil that might be lurking. It might be worthwhile to check your firewall and/or anti-virus settings to see if they are the cause.

              For some reason my reply doesn’t seem to be getting through. Apologies if this eventually ends up being posted multiple times.

                I agree that Zonealarm is the most likely cause.

                  or it could be ZoneAlarm

                      OK, I feel like an idiot. I really do know how to use a computer! I promise I won’t repost this message if it doesn’t show up.

                        not zone alarm but a derivative–ezfirewall/antivirus free from roadrunner. i just did an upgrade so maybe that’s where it came from. i’ll check. thanks
                        and i’m only going to post it once

                          I can’t find it on mine right now, but it should be under e-mail protection and you will need to allow .zip files under attatchments.

                            just found out it is the firewall with mailsafe option messing this up. but i’m pretty sure it can be fixed easily. will check when i get home tonite.
