I was wondering if anyone might know of a fix for this. When I select a document, I get a "Still working" message from Gmail.

It is odd, because I can sometimes upload them, and sometimes not. I tried in my Gmail account, and then in hotmail, and they all worked in hotmail, but not in Gmail. I will try it with the security settings. Thanks.

I spent about 30 minutes on Google Help, and I think I found a solution to my own question. It seems that no matter which e-mail service you are using, if you first click on "Save Now", rather than on Send, the attachment will be uploaded. From there, you can send it.
I tried it and it works in Gmail.
