That's because on a Macintosh, files are associated with applications using
invisible information called the file type and the file creator. By
transiting on some foreign web server, those Macintosh files lose this info
so you have to set it back. Fortunately, there is a little application
called "PackType" that will do that for any file you drop on it. Check the
UNNA archive <http://www.unna.org/> or Steve Weyer's web site, the creator
of PackType I believe.
