The R-help list is rather picky about what attached. None of your attachments 
arrived. 

The str() info is useful but please supply some sample data 

 The easiest way to supply data  is to use the dput() function.  Example with 
your file named "testfile": 
dput(testfile) 

Then copy the output and paste into your email.  For large data sets, you can 
just supply a representative sample.  Usually, 
dput(head(testfile, 100)) will be sufficient.  

How are you writing the code/or what format is the original email. Your code in 
the body of the text is badly messed up -- you probably need to post only in 
text. HTML etc is automatically dropped.
