    I think you can save the file but change the suffix. ie. if the file they have sent you ends in .dat (as they often do when sent from a MAC) then save at as an .eps (or whatever it is meant to be)

    That usually works for me.

    Jim – A mime file is a zipped file (compressed) for email. You need to unzip it.

    Go to this site:-

    for more information and free downloads of utilities that will open it for you 😀
