what are good possibilities?

If I were to send the file to another person, I'd try any of these

 1. Use a web mail client
 2. Try another desktop client (Geary, Evolution, ...)
 3. Check if the other person uses Jami and send them the file

If I were to send the file to machines under my control

 1. Use a USB stick or SD card (for local machines)
 2. Use SSH plus rsync (for local or remote machines)

Also, for what it's worth, I'm on a Guix System with guix 76a3414, which 
provides Icedove 102.15.0 (64-bit), and I can attach files normally.

Hi Luis,

thanks for your Email.

I also have got Icedove 102.15.0 (64-bit), but it doesn’t work at the 
moment.

Would you consider using Magic Wormhole? Warp is available on Flathub 
and you may download either Destiny or Warpinator on F-Droid. It's 
private, P2P, and thus has no file size limit.

For small files, that don't contain personal/sensitive data or that have 
already been published somewhere else, my go-to solution (from my 
computer) is https://ttm.sh/.

Best,

Océane

What makes the difference if I install icedove and firefox as user packages
or install them in a profile?

Now after upgrading I have got KDE with X11 (like before)
and additionally KDE with wayland (which I didn't have earlier).

thanks for help

I apologise for not having explained enough.

Somebody, I forgot who, wrote this, and I did the same:

By default, each user on Guix System has one user profile. All packages 
that they install are placed into it. This is easy to manage.

Some people (like myself) choose to create additional profiles.
Many people do this in order to separate out a group of packages that 
they don't want installed (or upgraded) all the time.
I do it because occasionally one of my packages breaks when I am 
upgrading my system. By splitting all of my packages up into a few 
different profiles by category, if one package fails to upgrade, then 
that profile doesn't upgrade, but all of my other profiles do. This 
allows me to install the newest software for everything outside of the 
broken profile. Then I focus on fixing the broken package and just 
upgrade the broken profile. Easy peasy.
