Lately, I haven't been having too many problems. That I can recall
anyway. (inside joke to Steve <g>)
But you're right about it being better to send as an attachment.

pretty secure from handling and transit induced errors.
Besides, I hate having to 'select all', then copy and paste, then trim
excess garbage. Especially if there are a lot of files.
