Default Backing up e-mail files on a cd

Brian,
I found the problem. I was using a cd formatted by Roxio CD Creator.
Everything worked fine when I burned the PST file directly to an unformatted
cd. Thanks for your help.

As far as I can tell, ANY file copied from a CD to the hard drive will have
the read-ony attribute set, since a CD is, by definition, read-only.

and (2) it would not open in Outlook.


And what error did you get when you tried?
