We would not need a crystal ball if you had sent a copy of your smb.conf
file and told us a little more of what you might have done to at least try
to solve your own problem. Our crystal ball is worn out a bit.

Could it be possible that your smb.conf file has in it a line like:

	veto files = /*.eml/*.nws/riched20.dll/*.{*}/

Might account for this behaviour. Oops!
