To upload files you need a version 4+ browser - IE4, Netscape 4 or above.
Some other browsers also support file upload, but not all.   AOL users
should run IE as a standalone application, not through the AOL interface -
as that is known to have problems with some sites, and may be why people (if
they are using AOL) can't upload files.

Files should not contain spaces.  I'm not use if Egroups server is running
Unix or not... but Unix does not like spaces in file names - so when
uploading a file, make sure it is a file such as "myfile1.txt" not  "My File
1.txt".
