i get my turns at this yahoo address, and i'm fine
reading it.

it sending to others that 'often' doesn't work. yahoo
doesn't like to attach my file to the email - so I use
a different system.

without a error message, it could be anything. but if
he can't read his pdf files, then maybe he is
downloading it wrong (eq saving to a txt file), or his
computer is reading his pdf files correctly ?

basically i need more info, and even then I'm no guru.

thanks

When he/she opens the email message under yahoo on the web, he/she should
see the PDF file as an attachment. To the right of the attachment are three

should come down no problem.

I had the same problem with Yahoo mail. Thus, I do not use Yahoo
mail...

At work, Internet Explorer did not want to download the pdf.
If would not view it, and would not download it, even after "scanning"
for viruses, as yahoo recommends...
I had to forward it to another email address to get it.
That always worked.

At home, using Netscape, I had no problem at all, ever.

Go figure.

For the record, Netscape web mail gave all sorts of other silly
problems, so if you wisely are searching for a replacement for the
Yahoo address, don't check out Netscape......

Regards,

BB

Internet Exploiter cause some weird issues due to the long url that
Yahoo! uses. Netscape does not appear to have this issue.

Using IE, I have to go through 3 steps to get the attached PDF.

1) Click the "Download File" link. This will bring up the "File
Download" dialog. Note that the file name indicates a long string of
gibberish. Select the "Open this file" option.

2) Another "File Download" dilog opens, again with more gibberish as
the file name. Again, select the "Open this file" option.

3) A final "File Download" dialog opens, this time with the
appropriate file name (e.g. ######.pdf). Now, you can really open it
or save it to your local file system.

Another option would be to click the "Save to Briefcase" link, and
then go to your Yahoo! briefcase to open the file. This does not
require the multi-click fiasco procedure.

Hope this helps.
