It probably was sent. I have both an AOL account (which I have had since 1995 which is why I am reluctant to give it up) and recently a mac.com address which I use only for certain specific purposes. I am on a mailing list (with my aol address) which does allow attachments. I frequently don't receive the attachments which others receive. Yet some attachments do come through just fine. I think AOL must restrict some attachments for some reason. I am not sure whether it has to do with size or source or what. When I go to AOL Anywhere (since I don't have the AOL software on my current Mac) to view the emails with the missing attachment, the attachments are there, but the email downloaded by Claris emailer gave no indication that there was an attachment. When I click to open the attachment, AOL brings up the warning that the message is from an unknown user, am I sure I want to open it? Since I do recognize the user and that it is from my mailing list and most often a small photo of a plant, I open it. Sometimes after having done this and returning the mail to the "New Mail" folder by selecting "keep as new", the next time my Claris emailer dials in, it will sometimes download the attachment. But this doesn't happen very often. If I really want the attachment on my computer, I will forward the email to my mac.com address and download with Outlook Expess which seems to have no problem with attachments. So it must be a combo of Claris Emailer and AOL but it is not consistent.
