I have friend who forwards messages from MS Outlook.
They arrive in my attachment directory with the label
"file". I am able to open and read it using an app
named Quick View Plus, but others, who use Outlook,
Outlook Express, etc. can not read them. The messages
consist of an unbroken string of letters. I don't want
to paste the complete attachment, because it includes a
number of email addresses, which probably should not be
shared. I am understand there may be a setting in
Outlook that "may" be the cause. This friend is a
highly educated, very nice person, who I am unwilling
to allow to think he has no clue, but that is the case.
Can someone, familiar with Outlook, explain the exact
setting that is responsible for the way this is sent,
so I can, gently, suggest he send in a different
format, and what that format might be? Apparently, this
copy of Outlook was set up to send in this format.

Just for the record, I can NOT open it without using
the afore said app. If a particular individual should
want to see the attachment in it's entirety, I could
send it. It's a very innocuous message.
