I've found that attaching Word docs to messages and sending them from gnus doesn't work: Amazon bounces me a message saying there was no attachment on the email. The same message with the same file sent from gmail's web interface works. I am attaching the file to the gnus message with all the defaults: Content type is application/msword and disposition is attachment. As far as I know those are the correct settings for a plain vanilla file attachment. Amazon's error message doesn't say anything beyond "no file", does anyone know of any alternate attachment methods I could use, or other settings to tweak, to make these attachments more attachment-y? Any advice appreciated, Eric
