View source for Problems with Office 2007+ attachments in Eudora

Problem:

When you send an Office 2007 docx, xlsx, etc. file attachment in Eudora 6 or 7, the recipient receives the file without the trailing "x" on the attachment file.  Thus, the file will not open correctly until the x is added back to the file extension.

Solution:

Close Eudora

Locate and make a backup of Eudora.ini<br>
Open Eudora.ini<br>
Delete the entire [Mappings] section, ONLY the [Mappings] section. (BE CAREFUL)<br>
Save and Close Euroda.ini<br>

Locate and make a backup of deudora.ini<br>
Open deudora.ini<br>
Directly under the [Mappings] section, and before all the other entries, paste the settings below.<br>

-------------
both=docx,,,,<br>
both=docm,,,,<br>
both=dotx,,,,<br>
both=dotm,,,,<br>
both=xlsx,,,,<br>
both=xlsm,,,,<br>
both=xltx,,,,<br>
both=xltm,,,,<br>
both=xlsb,,,,<br>
both=xlam,,,,<br>
both=pptx,,,,<br>
both=pptm,,,,<br>
both=potx,,,,<br>
both=potm,,,,<br>
both=ppam,,,,<br>
both=ppsx,,,,<br>
both=ppsm,,,,<br>
both=sldx,,,,<br>
both=sldm,,,,<br>
both=thmx,,,,<br>
-------------

It should look like this:<br>
[Mappings]<br>
<the settings above><br>
<then the original data><br>
