[UniMacTech] MS Entourage and Keynote attachment.

[Adam Reed]

Denis,

Keynote files are actually a bundle. So although you actually see a  
single file in Finder, its a directory structure that contains a  
number of files (to see right click on it in Finder and select Show  
Package Contents).

Entourage wants to compress them so that it sends a single file while  
preserving the directory structure. The same behavior will occur with  
other bundles, like 10.4 or earlier installer packages or the other  
iWork documents from Pages and Numbers.

Cheers,
Adam
