Thank you so much Helen for your flame and attempted public
humiliation. Some other members posted with very helpful comments.
It seems GMail is auto-attaching something which I was unaware of. I
can now correct the situation with their help. Your rude and
insulting remarks are uncalled for inappropriate for a "moderator".

To those who helped, I say thank you. To Helen I say shame on you.
