The sender is using OE6 with 'break apart messages' activated. He has sent
large (about 2Mb) *.jpg files which arrive in my OE6 as multiple smaller
files (about 500Kb each) each with extension *.dat. They are not
automatically combined as they should be. If I select all the parts of the
received file and then use 'Combine and Decode' to ensure they are in the
correct order and then click OK I get message 'Combining the messages'. I
then get a receive window containing just one of the parts, still with
extension *.dat.

I remember some time ago I was able to receive such messages successfully
and they combined automatically without using 'Combine and decode'. Now
there appears to be no way it will work! What can the problem be?


And if you save that and change the extension to JPG instead of dat?
