[Hidden-tech] Sending attachments from Mac to PC/and the other way 'round

[B. Kimo Lee]

Hi Linda,

Frank's right. I can confirm that I've used this method to overcome  
the file attachment problem you described.
I use ZipIt which is a $20 shareware program <www.maczipit.com>. Works  
great.

Now if someone can help me figure out what to do about the windows.dat  
problem I've run into the over way around, attachments from PCs to  
Macs that come in as garbage. It only happens with one client so I  
haven't been willing to spend the time to look into it, so if someone  
already knows what to do and how to resolve it, please indulge me.

Thanks,
Kimo
