I just right clicked on the file in the file name in the attachment,
selected
"Save link as" and then a location in a temp directory. This was done
with NS 4.61.
Later opened up an eCS window, changed to the temp directory, and
unzipped it.
That simple. From what you say, you probably saved it as an ASCII file.
Zip files
are binary.
