Yes; if it's to be sent to a PC user the file has to be named <br> &lt;whatever is the filename&gt;/jpg in RISC OS, otherwise Windows won't <br> know what to do with it. The mail app replaces the slash with a dot, <br> which you can't use in a RISC OS filename. <br> With best wishes, <br> Peter.

Not a lot of use for a text file which is what the OP specified. <br> Presumably he's Sleuthed it and wants to send the text - in which case <br> call it something/txt and drop it into a Pluto or Messenger Pro window. <br> They will give it a suitable something.txt filename for the PC. <br> Cheers, <br> Ray D

If it's an image of a text document the best way is probably to send it as <br> a PDF. After scanning, print the image to PDF and send it with a .pdf <br> extension - or /pdf if you are dropping it into Pluto. <br> Cheers, <br> Ray D

In article &lt;b474ecc14f.Da...@mail.daveand sylvia.plus.com&gt;, <br> Yes - all you need to do is use a file format the PC can recognise. So <br> exactly the same as RISC OS in that respect. JPEG, TIFF, etc. <br> Pluto can add the correct file extension for you - dunno about Messenger. <br> But if it is a text file surely you can send it as a plain email?
