Don't know for certain, but you could check:-

1. You could try checking the attachment type - the sender can either attach a file or paste it into the message - perhaps with an embedded object the name displayed on-screen is not the same as (possibly) a temporary name generated by Widndows;

2. Are the Windows versions different: there seem to be a number of subtle differences between Windows 95 and 95 rev b. at least;

3. What does the name get changed to? Does it get changed *after* it's saved and what does .NAME actually evaluate to just before you write it?
