Recently we have run into an unexpected problem while trying to set up 'mutual verifying'. Two of my transcribers who have Yahoo as their email package have found that if they receive a .bmd transcription file as an attachment they cannot save it in such a way that it is recognised by WinBMD or BMDVerify. Is there anyone out there who can describe how to receive .bmd files with Yahoo and be able to process them? I can see that the file contents could be included in the email text, then copy/pasted into notepad or similar, and then saved in a format BMDVerify would accept - but is there a simpler way?

Hi All Try sending the file as a ZIP file then unzip when it reaches the recipent.
