I've come across a couple of email clients whose default is to silently discard attachments. Gmail will either silently discard attachments, or reject the entire message, if the attachment is one of roughly two dozen extensions. (The file type is irrelevant. The only thing that counts is the three or four letter extension of the attachment. ) Some corporate email filters automatically discard _all_ attachments. jonathon -- Ethical conduct is a vice.
