Help starting a PBEM game

[Bub Bidderskins]

This will probably seem like a very silly problem to many of you, but nevertheless, I need your help. I've mainly played civ single-player, and I haven't had the desire to set up a multiplayer game until now. Me and a couple of friends decided to start a PBEM game, but I've had some trouble getting it to work. I would start up the game, complete my turn, and then send the save to my friend. However, when he opened the game, it was still my turn, but he could not do anything because it said that I "paused the game".

This probably looks like a dumb problem to all you MP vets out there, and I'm sure there's a simple solution.

Are you sure that you clicked the end turn button before saving the game?

Yes I did. I know this because when I hit "end turn" a message popped up saying that the file was saved in my PBEM folder and that I should email it to the next person in line.
