Hmmm. I just created anew Pages document, sent it to and from Gmail via one of my non-GMail accounts and it worked every time. I looked in Mail Prefs and couldn’t see anything that to do with attachments that could be messing with this. Now, I attach files by pressing cmd-shift-a which brings up the dialog, are you using the same method or are you dragging it from somewhere into the body of the message?
