We run a small D-Rats practice net weekly in PA. Last night, we attempted to transmit "email" with an .html attachment of about 30KB. We tried numerous times to a few people. Only once did it succeed. We use a DStar repeater (Icom G3) and have never had trouble like this. The two radios see each other, begin to negotiate, slow to a crawl, repeat again and again and then give up with a failed transmission. Not sure this has something to do with the attachment or not. It is important at this point to be able to transmit an .html attachment (web page, basically) as this is for American Red Cross Forms taken from FLDigi. ARC forms have not been general in xml for D-Rats to the best of my knowledge. ARC want their own forms used. We can do this in both WinLink and FLDigi (those nice formatted forms work fine). Has anyone tried this? I am also thinking this could have been some kind of radio quirk....however "normal" text email to each other worked fine. Chat worked fine....everything but this attachment.?
Thanks,

After having tried again and again, I am going to assume that email in D-Rats cannot actually send an attachment of any size and of any file type. Fails constantly. This is an enormous fail for emcomm, in my opinion. It may have worked at one time, but it's not working now. You may get what appears to be some kind of attachment in the email, but it says "do not open me" and can't be opened by anything I have found, although sometimes it appears to be there. Corrupted somehow in transfer.?
