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.
