Both Handlers match, and just deleted and reinstalled the plugins with the same effect. I'm not really a programmer (anymore) but can probably follow instruction if there is any easy way to diagnose (for example, any config files etc). I poked a bit, but didn't know the app well enough to know where to look. > > (2) On the laptop without the error, the email writes but the file is > not attached.

I could probably get pretty far, if I can get access to the manual that is no longer linked on the website, any chance of sending a copy? Also, a possible bug? If I create an email in the following manner: *************************************** 1 - bring up QS 2 - enter text mode and type an email of the form subject >> first line second line third line 3 - compose email to 4 - select contact *************************************** at least in gmail, the line breaks don't show up. This limits this function greatly for gmail users; hopefully it is something naive I'm messing up.
