Why can't I send an attachment with an email on IPad?

There doesn't seem to be a way in mail to send an attachment. I'm baffled as to why Apple would leave this feature out!

I am using the mail app on my Macbook Pro with charter email.  I click the paperclip. Choose the document. It shows up in my email.  I click the paper airplane.  Wait.  Then get...
"Cannot send message using charter.net.  Sending the message content to the server failed.Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or try later to leave the message in your outbox until it can be sent."
Connection Doctor is all green.
Checked the SMPT server list and can't find a problem.
All other emails go through just fine.
I just upgraded to Mountain Lion and stay up date.
I remember this happening when I first got my Mac a few years ago and quit using the mail app. because I couldn't solve it.  Now it is just driving me crazy.

  • Why can't I send multiple pictures with my iPad? I can only send them one by one please help.

    Why can't I send multiple pictures with my iPad? I can only send them one by one please help.

    Are you trying to do this from the photos app or from the mail app? Explain in a little detail what is happening when you try to select multiple photos.
    No matter which app you are using, you can try quitting the apps completely and then reboot the iPad and try again.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Why can't I send an iMessage to someone from my iPad unless they message me first?

    Why can't I send an iMessage to someone from my iPad unless they message me first?  Even if it is someone I have chatted with on iMessage before, if they have been cleared off my screen, I can't send them anything unless they message me first.  I know for a fact they have an up to date iPhone.

    OK.
    Turn off and on (restart) your iOS device (press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds, then slide the slider.)
    If restarting doesn’t fix it:
    It has been reported that changing your DNS settings fixes this issue. To change DNS servers, follow these instructions for iOS devices (iPhone, iPod touch, iPad):
    Tap Settings
    Tap Wi-Fi on the left-hand side
    Tap the blue arrow next to your current Wi-Fi network
    Tap the “DNS” field and enter the DNS servers; 8.8.8.8
    Now see if it is working.

  • Why can't people send a text message to my new iPad phone number

    Why can't people send a text message tou my new iPad phone number? I just got this iPad for my birthday and my wife has secretly told everyone the new number to send text messages to as a surprise when I onpened it... but none came through.

    Only individuals with iOS devices can message you and they must message you via the email address(es) associated with your Apple ID.
    They cannot message a phone number unless you have an iPhone associated with the account.

  • Why can't I send a text with imessenger but I can send a picture

    I have upgraded to ios5 on my ipad2 and I cannot send a message through imessenger but I can send a picture.  The send button is not lit up when I type a message.

    Care to elaborate?  I don't want to have to type each name individually.  I would like to select the group and have the message sent to everyone in that group.  As far as I can tell, this is not currently an option on iPhone.  I don't understand why.
    To clarify, I understand that I can send a message to a group of people.  I want to be able to select a pre-created group from my contacts and send a message to everyone in that group.
