    What version of StuffIt Expander is the recipient using?

    StuffIt 5.0 uses a new archive format that can't be expanded by older
versions of StuffIt Expander - so if the person doesn't have Expander 5.0,
they can't expand the new archives you are creating. Just have them update.

    CAVEAT: Aladdin hasn't (yet) released a new version of Expander for
Windows - so right now there isn't a way to expand StuffIt 5 archives on
Windows :(.
