Default Advice on avoiding corrupt .2h files?

Hi all, I am running a PBeM Dom 2 game, and I seem to be having a frequent problem with ‘corrupt’ .2h files. When I played in other games, the game hosts seemed to have almost no such problems. I’m wondering what I might do differently to alleviate this problem.

Players email their .2H files to my POP email, and I suck them down either off the web or using Eudora. When I get the files off my email provider’s webserver, I usually have less instances of corrupted .2h, but still every now and then I get a player file that is corrupt no matter what I do. I’ve been forced to run turns with corrupt files on occasion because of this, even though I have had players resend their turns etc…

Ideally, I’d like to use a mail program like Eudora to get .2h files, but find that I get a lot more instances of corrupt files when I do that. Really I’d just like to find out how I can avoid bad .2h files entirely…

Anybody have any advice?

Thanks,

Alarik
