Little Help Please...

Hello,

When a users sends an email with a docx attachement that is opened in
outlook client all is fine. When it is opened with OWA, the person is asked
to save the document before they open it by right clicking and selecting
save. When this is done, the default extension is a .ZIP If after the
save you change it to .docx it will open fine, but if you do not, it will
extract to a bunch of xml files, which I know is the "new" way that 2007
creates files.

My quesiton is why is OWA defaulting to a .zip save file for this??

I saw this posted to the Outlook Discussion Group, but that person was
firmly directed to this group, where they have asked a similar question, but
it has not been answered yet either.

Thanks

Gene

I founded out that it's happens mail with attachment comes from Lotus
Domino. I tested that with Domino 6.5 and 7.0.
