I know I can rename the file via terminal, attach it that way, but I
would like to not have to go through that.
This is probably not so much a problem specific to mail, as it is to

Am I missing something with the "safe" files thing? Despite the
description of a "safe" file in the prefs, Safari has never decoded a
.hqx, .bin, .sit, .sitx, or .zip file, or *any* variety of compressed

I seem to be stuck on full-screen with X11.  I should have kept that
preference unchecked but I wanted to see the window bigger.  Now when I have
X11 open I get a giant gray screen with no menu bar to access the

Office 2004 for the Mac.  I have used two of them but can¹t remember which
ones I used.  I need to install the software on a third machine and would

I just upgraded a Filemaker database from FM6 under OS9 to FM7 under
10.3.8, and the database won't share. Under 9 (even with FM6/OSX
