SUMMARY
When a user creates a MacBinary FreeDoc file without an extension and drags
the file to the Inbox of a Microsoft Exchange client for Windows, the
system will display the file with a generic icon. Only after the user
associates the file with the proper icon will the file be displayed with
the proper icon.
MORE INFORMATION
This is by product design. A MacBinary file with an extension displays the
correct icon in the viewer. When creating the FreeDoc, detect that the file
is MacBinary and convert it to PC format so that it can automatically use
the correct icon.
