It's been a long time since I worked with AOL, but if I remember correctly, there's two different ways to attach files. One of them is an industry-standard attachment, while the other is an AOL proprietary format. I don't remember the terminology within AOL for this latter method, but it is the default method that causes the problem -- you have to do an extra step to send an actual attachment. Sorry I can't be more specific! -- David W.
