using
"answer file" and choosing a long file name in OSX returns an
"encrypted" truncated version, even though the long file name is very
clear in the finder:
"encrypted"
e.g. a file on disk
fwd/ resistance against vegetarianism.txt
returns:
/Users/katir/ Working/ Editorial/ Letters to the editor/Oct-Dec
03/Fwd: resistance again#BC342.txt
Now, if i put this into a variable to store "gThePath" and later do this
put fld "incomingLetter" into url ("file:" & gThePath)
The file name on disk becomes:
Fwd: resistance again#BC342.txt
?? Is there a solution for this?
