And why don't you select filename.gnucash to attach to your email?

Hi,
In which folder are you saving the file?
on my linux version of 2.4.10, I get both
<filename.gnucash> and <filename.gnucash.gcm> saved in the path
~/.gnucash/books/ (Not sure what the equivalent windows path would be.)
Neither of these are my data file.
My data is in a completely different place. Are you sure that you are really
attaching you data file? What happens if you save the file back out from a
sent email - does it open on your computer?
when you see it in notepad, is it legible? does it start with something like
[Top]
BookGuid=a5ed76d745f6951ad97a3eb7ae59df75
WindowCount=1
or
<gnc-v2
xmlns:gnc="http://www.gnucash.org/XML/gnc"
xmlns:act="http://www.gnucash.org/XML/act"
if the top one, it isn't your data file. if the bottom one, it (probably) is.
HTH,
Maf.
