Mike must have set the anti-spam setting to its highest setting, a "white list". Earthlink doesn't do that for you unless you tell it to. Earthlink also allows attachments as long as they aren't infected. I routinely send and receive attachments with no trouble. I've been with Earthlink for several years and have always been happy.

As far as your question goes, I have submitted QQ articles in the past as Word docs and had no troubles.
