[pianotech] OT attachments in archive are gibberish code

[paul bruesch]

It could be, I'm thinkin', that one individual computer's file handling is
configured to display .obj as text and the other is configured to recognize
it as a graphic.

I just clicked the link, my FF browser didn't know what to do with it, so I
let it download, renamed the .obj to .jpg, and then clicked in an explorer
window. It opened in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, just like any other
.jpg does on my computer. I also opened it in Photoshop.
