   I recently had to send a document to my uncle and a cousin, so I   
   converted it to PDF first. It turned out that their mail provider (the   
   same provider in both cases) rejected mail with a PDF attachment. I'm   
   going to have to send it by snail mail.   
      
   (Or perhaps it was rejected because my message was in plain text, with   
   no HTML. I still haven't tracked down the precise cause.)   
      
   Some mail providers are becoming tougher and tougher about rejecting   
   mail for obscure reasons. (And sometimes they don't even tell the sender   
   that the attempt failed.) Maybe we'll all have to go back to snail mail.
