Actually, what MAY have happened was that the sender of the
email may have inadvertently compressed the file. Some MacOS
email clients by default compress all attachments using StuffIt
-compatible compression. They may or may not add a new file
suffix to the end of the filename AND your Windows-based
email client may or may not recognize the Mac compression and
encoding. On both Mac and Windows, for the highest level of
cross-platform compatibility, it is best to use MIME-encoding
with no compression. Note that this is often not the default
of Mac email clients.

My problem was a FM-file I had received via mail. It had the FM-extension
and it was created on FM 6.0 on a Mac, but for some reason I couldn't open
it with FM 6 on a PC. Double klicking the file gave me an unkown file type
error and trying to open it from within Frame gave me same result.

charm, no problems whatsoever when opening. I have no idea what happened
to/with the first file, but somehow it must have been corrupted somewhere in
cyberspace.
