This .new file.. what was it numbered and what were the numbers on the PBEM CMT and DAT ?

One of the real problems dealing with reports about secure PBEM going bad is there is NO way for us to know for certain that everybody involved handled things exactly the way they are supposed to be handled.

It MAY have been a corrupt zip. This can happen. When you say the "redownloaded files still refuse to load" does that mean you asked him to re-zip his files and re-send or did you simply un-zip the old ones ?? If you did use re-sent files the second time did he rezip his files or just send you the same zip he sent the first time ?

It's all important information
