Can anyone tell me what a POSTDATA.ATT file is? I have a form on my website that customers fill out when they want information. When I fill out the form myself, all the data comes to me in a mailto email message. Could it be that with some browsers the form comes as an attachment?

I am getting these POSTDATA.ATT files and I don't know why I am getting them. There is noting contained in the body of the email message.

Can anyone tell me how I can open these files on a Mac?

Open them up in SimpleText or download BBEdit Lite.

change the file extension to .csv (or, whatever the equivalent action would be with a mac) and open it in a spreadsheet program. Don't just try to open it with the program without changing the extension. If you change it, the program should (or will in a PC, anyway) read it as a comma seperated value file. It will read the commas as seperations between feild entry data. It should now look normal.
