Hi Geo,

Unfortunately, there is no attached data.frame. The mail servers are
somewhat draconian in what they let through. A much better way to send
data is to type

dput(head(DATA, 20))

which will make some odd (to you) output. However, if you copy and
paste that output into the body of your email, we can simply paste it
into our R sessions to exactly reproduce your data. It's really a much
better way to handle sending small data sets. Perhaps try that?

Cheers,
Michael
