There are at least 3 problems I can see with sending stories as email attachments, instead of in-line in the email.<br>1) Not every one may be able to open the attachment.<br>-- I realize that RTF is fairly universal at this point and shouldn't be too big of an issue, but I did want to mention that.<br>
2) Some mail systems may strip off attachments for security reasons.<br>3) Not everyone gets the individual emails, and instead subscribes to a digest that summarizes the day's emails in a single email. The list server strips off the attachments when that happens. If you look at the quoted email from Zamir, that's what happened here.<br>
<br>(This is what I'm referring to:)<br>> -------------- next part --------------<br>> A non-text attachment was scrubbed...<br>
