Orpheus, using squirrel mail has been very reliable handling attachments. Although I had problems evident on all machines over the weekend (someone appears to have got hold of my password and altered all my configuration settings) that is now resolved. The Iyonix and the Mac and PC are behaving as I would expect. We use webmail because as a company we are based in different locations and use a range of hardware so it is a common tool for us all and works well. It is however playing up again on the ARMini as I write this. Perhaps GCHQ are taking an interest! > > > PS, silly suggestion - you *did* append /pdf and /doc to the > filesnames?
