I have a really weird problem.

I use Pocosystems Barca 2 for email on Win7-64 protected by ESET NOD (64)
anti virus. Since I installed Win 7 all my email attachments are being
converted to a '.txt' file extension and are completely unreadable.

I'm not sure if I need to start with Win 7, Barca or NOD - or the sender.
The files concerned are all supposed to be pdf files but changing the
extension doesn't help, I can't read then as pdf files either.

I'll start poking around here but is there anything anybody can think of
with Win 7 that might affect this issue? It didn't happen on the RC which
I used for what seems like years.

If you ever find something you like buy a lifetime supply because they
will stop making it

Jeff:
I don't know if it will help but I'm running Win-7 Enterprise x64
and Professional x64 with Nod32 version 4 x64 and a hotmail e-mail account.
PDF attachments are listed as PDF files and open normally with Adobe or
Foxit Readers installed. Have a great day.

I forgot to add to my previous reply that installing Pocosystems
Barca 2 in compatibility mode for the last operating system that it worked
properly with may work, I've found that to be a solution to a couple
programs that haven't been upgraded yet.

Hi Dennis, thanks for your reply

I spent 3 hours on the 'phone tonight with a colleague who reads stuff off
hard drives with a microscope - word processors are for wimps! Barca is
putting spurious lines in when decoding multi part attachments, don't know
why and I will do a check tomorrow with TheBat! before concluding it is
Barca, but it looks likely. I will head off to the Barca forum...

This is as bad as it can get, but don't bet on it

Just to follow up in case anybody else wants to use Barca on Win7-64.
TheBat! decodes these attachments perfectly so it does appear to be a
Barca problem. I am following it up with Pocosystems.
