emailing pdf files

[arlen]

I'm trying to launch a web-based business. I'm there, ready to go, bu
I'm having some problems with my email.

I have my accounting software setup to print my receipts to an adob
pdf file, and it does so beautifully, but I can't send the darn thing
I've tried several e-mail accounts, outlook97 & outlook express(v?)
Outlook errored that there was "no transport provider available" whic
is apparently a common error in OL'97, and I've tried all the fixe
from the microsoft website that apply, but still no go. When I sen
directly from a webmail account, it just never gets delivered
disappears into cyberspace. Same goes sending it from outlook express


What's going on here? I've had a hugely frustrating day. I'm ready t
go go go, but I have to be able to email my customers a receipt o
purchase.

I'm going to switch to a text based receipt for the moment so I can ge
business underway, but it's a bad solution, too much time to input al
that info individually.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Are you sure the recipient's account isn't filtering them out? Have you
tried zipping them up first prior to sending them?

In actuality, the PDF file can convey no information that a simple text file
cannot, so why not treat your customers to a plain text receipt? Your mail
program and theirs will be significantly less burdened.
