Email Attachment Problem: 1999-10-26
No problem. I do not have a color printer that works though. So you may have to settle for black and white. 
Hey, don’t worry about it. I wouldn’t think any less of you if we are unable to figure this out. Email transmission over the Internet has become a highly specialized field these days and is fraught with potential pit falls. Some people make a career out of administering email systems and solving the problems that crop up. Unfortunately, I don’t work directly with email systems (except for using them). The fact that email works correctly at all, especially with the numerous, different email readers, gateways, firewalls, and internet service providers out there, is truly amazing. We’ll get it. Heck, the problem could be on this end, although I send attachments to people at AOL all the time and they are able to view them without problems.
No, I don’t know what the difference between a thuja and an abies? a quercus and a
malva are. Clearly, you are the senior partner here when it comes to horticultural matters. These are plants, right?
Suggestion:
You might try calling your email provider and explaining the problem to them. They may have a solution on hand or at least, be able to guide you in the right direction. Specifically, ask them if they support MIME encoded attachments. MIME stands for Multi-purpose Internet Mail Extensions, and is pronounced just like it is spelled. MIME. The I is long sounding. There are a few different versions of this standard, which today’s email readers implement. My impression is that Eudora is an older reader that does not understand the latest MIME language. But your ISP could tell you for sure. They may ask you for a copy of the email you’re having trouble reading. Sometimes, email gateways add spaces to the body text that can confuse email readers and make it impossible to decode the attachment files. Let me know if they can’t help, and I’ll dig further. My sister has the same problem also, and so if we could kill two ants with one bite, we’d be doing well.
