I'm occasionally sent word documents from a pc that are automatically zipped by their mail server.

If I double click on the attachment in mail, I get an error message box saying,

STOP: Unable to archive "filename" into "destination folder"

Yet, if I save the file and then use the command line unzip command to open the file, it will unzip fine.

Any suggestions on what I can do to make this a one click operation.

Thanks,

J.
