As part of a work project, a colleague in another city tried to send me some files zipped up in a zip file. It didn't work. Both his e-mail server and mine stripped the attachment out of the message. We tried a few variations which failed. What combination worked? He sent the zip file out with a zop extension and emailed it from a private dialup account on his iBook.
The result - draconian corporate e-mail rules cost us a combined 4 hours lost time, but we did eventually transfer the critical data. That and I got to hear an onslaught of "This could never happen with a Mac" comments from my colleague.

iBook? iBook?
Hmmmmmm...last time I checked it was a Powerbook :-)
And yes....I suggested to our esteemed author that we should both find a new line of work if we couldn't email a ZOP file in under a day :)
