If you click to the select file button, choose a file and it doesn't show up in the file details input, then that's not a SquirrelMail problem. It's either an issue with your browser or your O/S (on the client). This is not the place that you're too likely to find help regarding that, but maybe if you're lucky and you include more information about the client where the file select dialog isn't working, someone can guide you. If the file details do show up in the file input box, but clicking the add button fails, then you need to look for errors on your server. Either way, there's not much anyone can do for you until you provide more details. > >> Also - we can send pages documents as attachments through the same > >> mail server using a normal imap client just fine. > >> > >> Any other ideas?
