I am using Eudora 6.2.4 and see this problem.   I have e-mailed
attachments going back 10 years (so this would be using multiple
versions of Eudora over the years) where those files will not open.

As other posters have mentioned direct file copying (ie, moving a file
through the network from PC to Mac or copying to USB stick) -- those
same files will open (but will not open when e-mailed...)
