<p>I think the problem here is that you have not saved it before trying to mail it. Pegasus Mail will try to copy your file into a temporary (PM$) file, so it can then potentially do some encoding (Base64 or quoted-printable). </p><p>It needs the filename including filetype to create the correct mime headers.   Outlook and friends know nothing about PM$ files usually.</p><p>Martin </p>

I don't know why its happening, but for starters you can try deleting the quoted file or files.

On the basis of the original post it is only the recipient that is seeing this.It would be of interest to see if the attachment info is appearing in Copy to Self.

<p>What caisson says is my experience, I think only when I've <b>forwarded </b>an email: the recipient on MS Exchange complains that there's an attachment which they can't open. I've learnt to remove unnecessary attachments before forwarding, but sometimes I forget.</p><p>I always assumed that PMail was saving some info to do with the original message as a temporary file on my hard drive, then attaching that file when the message got forwarded - but I may well be mistaken about that. </p><p>David</p><p> </p>
