Not a major issue but more of a conveniance factor: It seems that about half the time I get Excel attachments it lets me right click and have the option to open with Excel (under Crossover) or Open office. The other half of the time it requires that I save the file as the only option. Is that option controlled by the extention of the file and if so can I edit it to make .XLS .xls open with Excel?
That would depend on the mime-type of the attachment, I think. If it's, for example, this, then it knows what to do: Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel; name="Mortgage_726.xls" Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="Mortgage_726.xls" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 If it's a generic octet-stream, though, Evo doesn't know what to do: Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=obfuscated-virus Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=obfuscated-virus Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Thus, I'd posit that there's some issue with how the spreadsheet was attached. Maybe you could do a View->"Message Display"-> "Show Email Source" on the emails to see what's going on. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson, LA USA PGP Key ID 8834C06B "Maintain peace with men, war with their vices."
