Have you tried renaming the txt as .doc? I did that with a similar instance
a few days ago, and the file was readable. Don't know why it arrived that
way, though, as in general .docs arrive OK.

When I receive Word attachments, they are mysteriously converted to
unreadable .txt documents. I am using OE6, Norton AV, and Trend Micro
Anti-Spam. They leave the sender as .doc and arrive as .txt. Any one have
any suggestions? Thanks.
