Go ahead and to the "send page", but then go into the attachments
window and delete the actual attachment (the link will remain in the
text window if I remember correctly). Add your comments and let 'er
rip.
I hate the M$ version of Netscrape for this very reason as well. It
not only takes time for us to down load if you forget to remove the
page, but it forces the sender to wait while it loads the page's HTML
as an attachment before you can edit the actual message (again, this
is based on my dimming memory of the M$ version).
