is it normal for me to have to wait an hour to attach a small word document to my yahoo mail?

sometimes, depending on the photo size and connection speed, it can take a while to compress the attached files to send the message. You can probably fix the issue by sending them one at a time

I imagine you feel quite betrayed at the moment. The fact that you are waiting to send this mail is interesting, though. I think that if you wait a couple of days, you might find yourself able to think a little more clearly. Be patient, and you will be able to answer your own question.

Yahoo is rarely on time. It looks like it is working fine right now though.

What kind of question is this?!?! Don't you ever use email? You can send whatever you want. I get attachments that are 2-3 Mb with no problem, whatsoever. I bet a simple text file should be 20 K and should pose no problem at all.

you make out the required paper work and it is sent to you.  It shouldn't take longer than 10-12 days, but then again who is to say how fast the governement responds to your request?  I once had a request taken care of IMMEDIATELY and I fainted dead away.

You could further specify telling us what sort of error messages. There could be so many things that could go wrong frankly. Its not embarassing to ask them to send you the attachments again because sometimes during attaching or sending email, somewhere in the process, the attachments could get corrupted. And one way to know what sort of attachment is to see the attachment file extension. Word documents will end with .doc

You can.  I think your e-mail is landing in the junk box.  Check there.  =)\n\nOr sometimes, you just have to wait a long while before it arrives.

The exact details depend on your email client. Your email client may or may not have a preference setting for configuring time format.

the email can be of any size, since its text only. \nhowever, attachments are limited to 10MB \nhttp://promo.yahoo.com/sbc/features.html?.u_vers=&.u_tn=&.u_status=&.u_reasonCode=&.u_done=&.u_lb=og&.u_c=1#ms

You might try sending it to some account that you'd read from the internet (ex. Yahoo or Gmail). Sometimes I had similar problems, but never when reading attachment from internet mail accounts.\nMost of the time, I think it occurs when you have a programme like Outlook, Thunderbird, Eudora, etc. That can't understand your sender's mail format.

For me it takes about 2 seconds.\n\nThe moment I press the submit button and the time it takes me to automactically reach the http://answers.yahoo.com, my question is already there

use the "send attachment" button.  It's pretty intuitive from there.

It looks as a problem with Java. It may be slow machine for robust application as yahoo mail is or just corrupt installation of Java Engine. Upgrade or reinstall respectively.

using yahoo mail is easy just click on download attachments than click save if u want the file to be saved in your computer so that you can modify it later or you can just click it as a read only document

It takes so long because it has to go to the e-mail server, just hit refresh about every thirty seconds, then you should get it.
