Running Tiger (Mac OS 10.4) and Office 2004 since last fall. Lately,
Entourage sometimes labels attachments with a suffix (for example, the
received message may read " Stuff actually sent.pdf
(application/mac-binhex40)", which causes recipient PC's to panic and
tell the user to look for a binhex program. It's not the original file
- I can transport these to my PC on a flash drive and it goes out fine
over Outlook Express; I can read anything sent in with the usual
commercial suffixes - doc, pdf, xls, etc. on the Mac. Even worse, the
problem seems to be intermittent. For a while Word was affected but at
the moment it's OK; Pdf's are now the target, but Excel now goes out
OK.
I have tried the limited options I can find to see if there is
something to turn on or off to prevent this. Does anyone know what is
happening, and how to fix it? Probably what i need to do is to
dis-install Entourage and start over. But then I worry about losing
all my mail and my addresses.
