Subject: Pine Attachments

Hello & thanks in advance for your help,
When I name the file I have uploaded into my personal directory as an 
attachment, a file I created in Microsoft Word and saved as a text file, 
I get a message <Problem with attachments!> and if I send the mail 
anyway, there is a brief notice that the file is not in my directory.

I know that it is there, because when I open my personal file, it is 
named there and I can view it in its entirety.

What can I do to attach these files?  They are too long to copy & paste.

......if you are using "attachment", why bother to convert to text to 
begin with. As long as it is "text", you can can use ^R to include it in 
the body of the message.  If you must use an attachment, be careful of 
the filename - if you are typing it recall the case matters to UNIX.  Try 
using ^T and then selecting the attachment instead of typing the name.  
My experience has been however, that attachment is best used only for 
binary files, use the ^R include for text - also helps out thee receiver 
if they are using an older mail handler.

If you are using a PC, you may find it easier to visit Forte.com and download
their newsreader Freeagent, which is a free-ware program and it will send mail
with any type of attachments flawlessly in chucks of what ever size you would
like.
