Emails with a small MP3 or WAV file is what can trigger a

Could it trigger an automatic deletion by their email screening
application because of it having an attachment?

Depends on the attachment size, but yes. If the attachment falls into
the range usually used to propagate viruses, the packet sniffer may send
it to another bot for examination. In many cases, though, it simply
deletes it from the system, regardless of file extension.



You definitely have a point here, and I believe that an increasing
number of my reception reports are stopped although a very high
majority still slip through the barriers. An alternative approach
which I have tested with some success is to upload files to a server
such as box.net, and send the url to the addressee. But of course,
many are told never to click on unknown links...
