* 
* As a second test, I also named the file "test.txt" (incorrect 
* extension) 
* and it did not work correctly with Firefox - it added 
* carriage returns on 
* the download to Windows.
* 
* So the no-extension method is definitely the way to go for 
* sending files 
* to Gmail.  Just tell people to rename the file after they download it!
* 
* Thanks!

M$ protections in outlook.
You are most welcome,
