Lots of times Mac users are so accustomed to not having to include the file extension on images they either don't, or misname them because they may have forgotten what the extension was. Often they'll include spaces and periods before where the extension would be - which tends to make PC's give up and not even try to read it.

If you have Photoshop or Illustrator it might be able to open it. Or not. It's a crap shoot there.

You could try making several copies of the file and assigning your best-guess extension i.e. the "What's behind Box #3?" approach. Could be a .pct (Mac), .bmp, .tif, .jpg, .psd, or any number of favorite flavors.

There's even the possibility the file was corrupted in transit. I sent some files using DSL and it corrupted them I think because the attachment loaded incompletely before it left my outbox.

Or call your sister tonight and just ask her ;)
