Well, if not bugs, at least failure to follow decade-old specifications.

Which don't HAVE Mac file types, and therefore (AFAICT) aren't assigning 
bad ones...

So far, Eudora and Firefox have been directly shown to cause the 
problem. 

Perhaps I've missed it, but I've not seen any re****ts of problems that 
have been do***ented here to involve files that have ONLY been touched 
by the above MS apps (including the templates they're created from), and 
I can't recreate the problem on the systems that I have access to. Nor 
have I had any user re****ts of that occurring.

No. I just try to help users sort out problems.
