Eric B. tells me you've been having problems sending attachments through email.  If you're using Outlook (any version), this is because the Microsoft security update from about a week ago created a weird problem.  Any attachment with an ! symbol or more than two .. in a row in its file name gets identified as a potential threat and gets blocked by Outlook (for your safety, of course).  

The fix is one of two things.

What I did was to uninstall the last Outlook 2007 security update from my computer.  Once I did that, everything was fine.

If you don't like option #1, then you could just name your game file without ! symbols.

Hope this helps until Microsoft resolves the problem. ( they are aware of it).

Here's a link to the bug report:

Thanks for the info. My brother just experienced that problem and I was trying to research the cause for him. This saved me a lot of time.
