Default ics extension stripped

In Eudora, messages are automatically saved to the hard drive. When I open it
from the e-mail or from the hard drive, there is no extension. I also leave
my e-mails on the server. If I download the identical e-mail in Eudora on an
XP computer, the extension is there. And yes, Vista shows all extensions. If
I manually rename the file to add the extension, then it works perfectly.

Thanks

I use outlook 2003 for calendaring but Eudora 7 for email on multiple
computers. If I receive an Outlook meeting invitation in Eudora on an XP
computer, the attachment ends in .ics and works when I click on it. If I
receive the exact same invitation (by leaving it on the server and
downloading again) on a Vista computer, the.ics is stripped. If I manually
add .ics to the downloaded file, it works.
Any idea why or what I can do?

Thanks,

Mitch
