G’day Shane

I agree, but my clients regularly get sent QuarkXPress projects without extensions.

As soon as they are dropped into an El Capitan Mail message, they become corrupted. Same when they arrive from another source as far as I can tell.

They either show up as TextEdit (text) documents, or if sent through the mail system, as Exec files.

The only answer is to drag them to the desktop, add a ‘.qxp’ extension, drag the email to ‘Drafts’, open it, delete the corrupt file, drag in the altered one, then manually send the email through my what-is-supposed-to-be automated system.

At least I can divert the broken email to a ‘Items to manually process’ mailbox.

I’ve lodged a bug report regarding El Capitan Mail.app.

Regards

Santa

I discovered that I was using a file created with QuarkXPress 10, without an extension

There was a time when that wasn't an unreasonable thing to do. I think I can remember back that far.
