File attachments sent by mac

we’ve got a serious problem with sending file attachments with a macintosh (os 9.2.2). attachments sent to another mac are getting the .hqx extension (mac compression), but cannot be opened anymore though. attachments sent to a windows client usually cannot be opened either. i’m writing “usually”, because i’ve been able to open like 10% of them. some of the attachments (especially *.doc) are killed by groupshield “unable to extract file from note” as well.possible that groupshield (5.2.1) causes the problem?

the outbound settings in the server configuration AND the location document are set to AppleDouble. thought this should do the job, but it didn’t actually.

any help appreciated!

There’s a technote on the subject at:

I think you may have already covered everything it says though.
