Hi,

As I mentioned yesterday, I send and have sent the newest Pages documents via 
eMail without issue.  In fact, I sent a document yesterday for fun from my 
Gmail account to my work account, which is a Google Apps for Education account, 
so Gmail as well and it sent and was delivered without incident.

I will look at my settings a little closer to see if there’s something within 
there that could be causing others’ problems.

Later…
