Is it me or is there a problem with attachments? This is the second time I've been told my attachment is empty:

Both attachments open just fine for me, Michael.

Could this be something to do with Windows 7?

I'm sorry, I should have told you my specs ... I'm on Windows XP Professional so if they both were Windows 7 then that might be the case. If someone with Windows 7 tested for you, it would help.

Both attachments open ok for me in both IE and Firefox on Windows 7.

Thank you both very much for your time. A mystery, then?

Okay, found it. It is an issue with Windows 7 as you suspected, Michael. It has to do with translation from Mac to Windows 7. I found a few articles but I do not have time to research further to find the best articles about it. It seems bottom line is Windows people need to get 7-zip (freeware which doesn't have this problem) or someone said, "Unfortunately, you have to unzip and unencrypt (right click>properties>advanced>untick "encrypt contents to secure data") on the machine you used to download the file."

Either way, Windows 7 people will need to resolve it, it seems. Here are a few articles which discuss it:

I would prefer to present a link to an official response to the issue but I don't have the time right now.

Thanks for this. The funny(?) thing is that I am using a 3rd party utility to zip the files, in order to make them "Windows compatible"...

"Windows compatible" is an oxymoron. :hmm:
