It depends, of course, on what system you're using for mail. I'm guessing
you are stuck, as I am, with an account on a VAX or Unix box or soemthing.
Over the last couple of years I've used Pine, VMS mail and TPU on a VAX, all
of which are pretty unsatisfactory compared to those I know with Eudora or]
other direct dconnections. In any case, one work around is to upload the
document. MOst amil account servers seem to support kermit. The way I can
do it is to save my document in CW as a text file, log onto my account,
type "kermit," at the prompt type "receive," then pull down my CW menu and
select "send file" which brings me a dialogue box asking for which file.
I select, it sends the file which shows up in my account directory on the
mail server When I exit kermit and type whatever I need to gt my directory
(usually "dir") the mail server tells me what it's called the new file (it
usually adds .txt to my name). the I go into mail and type "send FILENAME"
using as FILENAME whatever the directory has named my file. It then
asks my TO: and does theusual mail thing. Cumbersome? for sure, but it's
all I can do for long documents.
Hope this makes sense and is relevent.
