I think it varies with the mail-client and how it labels the type of each attachment. At one time I read that "text" files needed to labeled as MIME-text to pass scrutiny, so it's possible that some mailers will send .R files in an acceptable fashion but not others. I have tried to find where this is documented but have failed. It may have been one of the changes to the Posting Guide that occurred a couple of years ago. I know from experience that most attempts to send c-s-v files with a .csv extension will fail, but that when sent with .txt extensions will succeed. I think .jpeg files (and perhaps .ps) may make it through intact. -- David Winsemius Alameda, CA, USA ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
