The recommended (see the Posting Guide) way to resolve questions like this is to post a reproducible example so we can see the problem occur in our R session. There are a number of Internet resources that can help you get this right such as [1][2][3].
Note that one key to success is to learn how to configure your email program send plain text formatted email, since the mailing list will strip the HTML formatting anyway but this often leaves extraneous characters that make no sense to R. Most email attachments are removed, so keep including the code in the email body as you have been.
