Seeing the way Outlook mangled your email, I could guess that you
downloaded the tarfiles in Winbloze? If so, did you make sure to tell
whatever ftp client you used to download in binary format and not
ASCII? If you did the download with a webclient, in either FreeBSD or
Windoze, all bets are off as to how it might have mauled the files.

Boot into FreeBSD and use the command line ftp to get them. If they
still don't work, please post back the 'ls -l' output of the directory
that contains them.
