After I generated code that performed as desired when sending to a gmail account, I thought I would try it with another of my email accounts (one on aol.com) as well. Interestingly, the result was that the link to the attachment was included as part of the message text, without the attachment. The same message in my sent box on gmail did show the attachment as an attachment. When I then generated a message from my gmail account with the attachment, the attachment did appear as an attachment in the aol account. Is this an expected result when sending to accounts on another mail server?

Yes, diifferent mail servers behave differently as far as I remember.
