Hi there! After receiving some emails I realized that I didn´t specify the problem exactly. I tried to open the notebook files on a computer with MacOS 9.2 and with another one mounted MacOS 8.6. I started Mathematica and using the file-open-command I tried to open my notebook file. But it didn´t show off in the file selection. When I renamed the file extension in the Explorer (as a typically Windows user I don´t have any idea whether this is called differently on MacOS :) ) to myFile.txt and again into myFile.nb it suddenly appeared in the file-open selection of Mathematica. Furthermore I used a zip drive now to store the notebooks on the Mac which did solve the problem. The files could be opened in Mathematica. It seems that this is a problem of how to send the attachment or how to store the attached files. Quite strange problem, but at least solved by using a zip drive. Doris
