Spaces in player names causes gmail to truncate Civ4 PBEM saves, thereby making them unreconizable to the game. This most definatly happens with gmail and may perhaps happen with other email clients.
The fix for this situation is to simply remove spaces from players names. For example.. change "Civ Gamer" to "CivGamer". Other charectors might also prevent the sending of in-game saves.. such as Civ_Gamer, Civ~Gamer, Civ-Gamer etc.
Also.. You can still play a saved file that has been truncated by renaming the file with the following extension... ".Civ4SavedGame"
The file "Player One AD-2020.Civ4SavedGame is truncated to "Player.file" and so the extension must be replaced.
