Dear All :
We are using Microsoft Outlook 2000 and we have a strange behaviour – I am receiving emails with *.tar.z attachment A Compressed Tar Archive
When I save the attachment on the Disk , and browse to its location – I can extract the File with WinZip and I can get the files without any problem …

But when I try to double-click the attachment from the outlook directly to open the file , WinZip open the attachment incorrectly and can't extract it !!!
How can I solve this problem , and what is the different between opening the attachment directly or save it then open it !!!!
