Yes, your attachments were sent properly.

It might be related to missing admin rights. I didn't test it without
because on my Windows box I need them for getting the WLan interface to

Maybe the file you want to open is not readable or writeable for your
user? Or is any directory between the file and root not readable or in
any case accessable to your user?
