They are zip files. Either rename them with the .zip extension, or associate them with apple's unarchiver tool (or whatever you use). You can tell Bookshare to always download zip files instead of bks2 files in your preferences (on the website). On 8/11/12, Harry Hogue wrote: > Interestingly, whe

If you go into the main menu and then go to view, then go to columns submenu. In there you can choose have attachments shown in your list of columns. I like this much better than having to look at the message itself. Hope this helps. Watch and hear The Guide Dog Glee Club sing the Star-spangled

Hi everyone! Okay, I think I must be missing something really obvious here. Earlier I was checking my mail, reading a message when a facetime call came in. For the life of me, I couldn't figure out how to get to the window where I could actually answer the call. I heard VO speak and it did say i
