repeated attempts were made to send me three attachments (2 pdf files, one MS
Word file).  The text messages were received but no attachments ever showed up
on the messages.  I checked my e-mail using the Opera Browser and was able to
receive the messages and the attachments.  I have preferences set to accept all
images.  I looked for other preferences that might have some effect but couldn't
find any.  All preferences are set to maximum permissions.  This same thing had
also occured with a different person a couple of days ago who tried to send me
some attachments. I thought it might be a problem with the size of the upload
but as it turns out, we both use comcast and he was able to send the attachment
to himself.  Hope this helps.
