Re: Word 2008 .doc attachments/Lotus Notes

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

The short answer is: Zip the file before you attach it.

This is a problem with Notes' encoding format for Internet files.

I think it is recognising a Mac Word document and trying to send it as a
BinHex file. Try to change it to MIME. MIME will work anywhere.

But "Zipping" the file first ought to stop the symptoms. A Word .docx is
ALREADY a Zip file, but zipping it twice won't hurt it. A .doc will shrink
to about half its size if you zip it.

My Notes client is set up to Zip automatically by default: perhaps you can
enable that option in yours?

Hope this helps

I would like to migrate from Office 2004 to Office 2008 (Mac). If I
create .doc files with Word 2008 and send them as attachments via the
internet, all files are sent twice, and a xxxxxxxx.DTF (x=digits) is
sent as an additional attachment.

This does NOT happen with .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .ppt and .pptx files.
It also does NOT happen with .doc files created with Word 2004.
And it also does NOT happen within the the Notes domain, it happens
only for internet addressees.

All this happens only when using the Notes Client as a e-mailer, it
does not happen with other mail clients (e. g. Entourage).

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
