Noname attachment sent by Apple Mail to Gmail

Someone sent me a .doc file that I couldn't open because of the
way Apple Mail encodes files. 

Here's a site that will decode the file for you.


To avoid the problem in the future, here are the instructions:
"Sending via Apple Mail
Before sending attachments via Apple Mail, make sure that under the
menu Edit> Attachments, the option Always Send Windows-Friendly
Attachments is checked. Selecting this option helps to avoid problems
even when the recipient of the email is using a Mac."

Enable Single Window Mode for Safari

From http://www.mactips.org/ Posted: 10 Oct 2008 05:53 AM CDT

"You may have noticed that some links in Safari absolutely refuse to open in the same window. After a while this can leave you with several windows open at once - which can make your desktop a real mess.

You can, however, change this so that links that would normally open in a new window will now open in a new tab instead.

To do you need to launch the Terminal and type in the following:

defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true

Hit return the quit and restart Safari. Now all of your links that would normally open in a new window will open in a new tab. If you want to change back to the previous settings all you have to do is open Terminal and type in:

defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool false

The close and restart Safari again."
