Not at all (dense) MamaT, I can see where the confusion
starts and maybe I am going to get into trouble from
someone for contributing to it.

Hokey.. we are not going to fix this in one post, MamaT.
Sooo how about we get the preliminaries over by playing a
little game, some nonsense?
When I was a kid (just yesterday) I used to steal the adults monthly
magazine to fill out the maze puzzles like "which of these
things are the same" from two cartoons. Had my arse canned
a few times for ruining their read. I soon learnt to use
pencil and a rubber!! /chuckle
I digress...
There is no help in posting the "technical stuff" as text so I have
attached what I _see_on the desktop when I am reading a post, just the
things that tell me who is posting what. I have "erased" those things
that would connect the posts with the newsserver identity of the poster
, only to protect privacy, and left enough information in four screens to
show the reader the identical information in each post.
In the last (5th screen) I have also provided a post of mine from
April '09 where I pointed to "the problem". That screen is the answer to
this question "what is the same in all these posts".
Have a go at figuring it out before you check the answer screen <g>

BR posts have always been this way. A few of us have tried to reach
out to that poster.
The lights are on but nobody is at home there.. bugger/damn! :->

Hokey.. what you are talking about here is fixable as a download.
I have proved that example a few times now, yes?
However think of it this way.
If I get into showing you (mamaT) how to fix it then we (group) will
forever be passing around that information each time the event
happens with the imminent result the information will be corrupted
and nobody will benefit at the end of the day.
It is far better we work on fixing the postings as this is where it
all starts.. that's how I see it.
Quite OK to show me different (logic) :-)
So lets get on with identifying the thorn in these posts
so one and all get to know what to look for when they get
"corrupt file" popping at them from the desktop?
A word of advice? This problem is not the only thing that
causes "corrupt file" but it is "new", I have never seen it before
so it is of importance to all. I suggest _everyone_ pay attention
to what unfolds from here on.
To get the ball rolling go check the puzzle and
reply with what you find, as an answer.. yeh?
cheerio
