PBEM problem

Jimkehn is host. He sends me the jimandpatrick~ENG.TRN file for my moves on first turn. It loads and I give my orders and send him the jimandpatrick~ENG.ord from the save. I do not hit End Turn.
He sends me back an updated jimandpatrick~ENG.TRN file for the next turn but it does not appear on my Load Games section.
Any ideas?
I was using a web-based mail server and the Scan and save was renaming the files, replacing the ~ with _ but other than that no changes were made. His moves, my moves, he resolves turn and sends me the Trn File and nothing shows up. Have setup a separate folder as instructed...
Help.

the other possibility then (compared to what I said in PM) is that your opponent added the file at the right place, but the file name was not OK (~ disapearing and such). It is better to send it zipped then.
