Default ics extension stripped

Well the setting that says to hide extensions for known file types is not
checked. Is there another setting? All other extensions are visible.

If it is Eudora doing this, it is only happening in Vista. I use Eudora on
XP and these extensions are not stripped.

thanks,

Mitch

it sounds like Eudora isn't saving it with the extension - I had a problem
with this in vista with another program and enabling the all extensions
options in Vista's file and folder options fixed it.

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
