You appear to have made a common mistake in assuming that attachments of 
any sort can be processed by the Rhelp mail-server. Only attachments of

It is possible to make an attachment that will hold a faithful 
representation of R objects using dput or dump, but they must have 
extension .txt when attached by mail-clients.
