Re: emailing of an MS Word .doc file fails

For the benefit of others, the solution was not having the file I was
attaching open somewhere else. Thank you Gary!

Make sure the file you were attaching was not open somewhere
else, like in Microsoft Word.
Also, go to Tools, Safety Options, Security, uncheck "Do not
allow attachments..."
