Thunderbird does not automatically bzip attachments, and even if it did, it wouldn't have removed the ".srv" from the filename. It does, however, have an option under "View->Display Attachements Inline" that displays plain-text attachments "en clair". What you are doing wrong is looking at your later post: Date: 2009年5月05日 07:22:34 +0100 Message-ID: <49FFDB2A.2060103@bonhard.uklinux.net> http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-05/msg00133.html rather than the one CGF's reply: Date: Mon, 4 May 2009 01:04:22 -0400 Message-ID: <20090504050422.GA4733@ednor.casa.cgf.cx> In-Reply-To: <49FE746E.2080409@bonhard.uklinux.net> http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-05/msg00075.html was actually addressing: Date: 2009年5月04日 05:51:58 +0100 Message-ID: <49FE746E.2080409@bonhard.uklinux.net> http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-05/msg00074.html which, seeing as it happened later in time, CGF's post could not reasonably have been expected to be responding to!
