I think I've got it. According to
http://www.support.lotus.com/csswww/4336a.htm

"This problem exists in all language versions of cc:Mail Release 7 and
has been resolved in cc:Mail Release 8. The problem is
caused by the international time format, which uses 24 hours. If the
files are saved in the morning before 12:00 h (12:00 PM)
there is no problem. However, if the files are saved after 12:00 h, for
example at 17:00 h (5:00 PM), they cannot be opened."

Thanks to those who responded.

Cheers, Dave Chisma
