Yes, you see, if you send us the file, we can help you so much more. However, the list strips attachments. You can either: -upload the file to a free uploader on the Net -email it to the people individually (ONLY with their permission, because some don't like this) I'll accept attachments sent directly to my email. I don't know about others though.
