The problem (unchanged, as of this morning) is that of my email correspondents, ONE of them is affected thus: His messages containing an "attached file" are stripped of the file, even though the INBOX lineup of messages still shows the Paper Clip icon. Why does AT&T/Yahoo Mail do this? No other correspondent is so affected.

I do a little bit of coding, and if I want to send someone an .exe, it can be a nightmare.
In one case I zipped it, then changed the file extension to .jpg and told them to change it back. Luckily they had the knowledge to do so.

Sending files using a file splitter or (in the case of PDF file, breaking them into multiple files is fairly good solution, all else being equal. The downside I have experiences with file splitter programs is that some require the recipient to have the same program to convert the multiple files into one file (sometimes you want the recipient to be able to view the file as one, not as multiple files. I suspect Leo is getting to the next suggestion in his follow up article: Use a free online file storage for the file then share it with as many people as you want. Your mileage may vary with the storage service when it comes to how you share, how many people you can share with at one time and the amount of time it takes to upload the file to the storage service.

I wanted to send an 8meg CD to a person on Hotmail. It was rejected. I had them download Gmail, and it went right through.
