Alas, no, it isn't attached. It's embedded as 300K of text, and I won't spend 5 to 10 minutes copying and pasting it. It really takes that long to hold down the mouse and scroll, and I'm really not switching to another e-mail program. (I don't know if that would help, and anyway, I'm not doing it.)

A couple of suggestions to avoid wasting everybody's time:

If you copy and paste the code, you can avoid the typos. Omega Consulting's "Copy as InputForm" palette is often useful for that (unless it's incompatible with your Mathematica version?). Without it, special symbols cause the pasted code to be unreadable to humans.

Or, after you've written the code in e-mail, you could copy and paste it BACK into Mathematica, and execute it to see if you missed anything. It only takes a few seconds.
