Steve St-Laurent Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Out of the blue, a Windows XP SP2 machine that was nicely handling a print PDF and attach to email script is now attaching a file with a .DAT extension, instead of .PDF. Mail client is Outlook. Script has worked perfectly on this machine for more than a year, so I'm guessing it's some Windows or Outlook setting that has changed. The file generated is valid PDF; change the extension and it opens properly. Anyone encounter this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve St-Laurent Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 This was indeed the culprit. Setting the default mail format pref to plain text cleared it up. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
