It might be worth raising it with Qualcomm also. At 1:03 pm -0500 13/02/01, Paul Schinder wrote: >It's not all of perl.org, since perl5-porters gets plenty of >attachments.

Since (presumably) the e-mail to myself went through the same channels (with no problem) the ISP's arrangements are probably not to blame (?). If 'perl.org' normally accepts attachments the finger of suspicion points to some other MA along the way. As Peter says it probably all depends on the MIME headers. >For text files, Eudora has the option of "Insert" rather than >attach. Try that next time and see what happens.
