I have a similar issue... I am using stock 2.1 with the native e-mail app and Gmail app.
Gmail app - when attempting to attach a file it opens the gallery, so the only file(s) I can attach are media files.
Email app - when attempting to attach a file it opens 'MyFiles' but will only show media (jpeg, mp3, mp4, etc.) file types, so it also will only attach media files.

Hmm... I would use Astro File Manager which is free in the Marketplace.
Once installed, go to your gmail app, compose a test email, menu key, attach, then you should have the option to either open Astro or Gallery. Select Astro, then find your file and attach and send off. Gmail has a file size limiter of 3 MB I believe, however using Astro you can send a file as big as 11-12 MB. Anything bigger than that will crash the Gmail app.
GriffMH, this should solve your problem for attaching non-media related files.
Flawlez427, give it a shot and if it still doesn't work, it could be a sync issue or maybe even crazy enough, your phone is waiting until you get a better connection to send the attachments? If you could provide a bit more info as to the type of files you're sending and size, it might help provide a better solution.

Thanks dangerdat! Loaded Astro. Gmail now has astro or gallery for "type of attchment". BUT this doesn't work for the native email application... it still goes directly to the SD card and shows all folders on the card, but then only shows files with media filetypes for attachment... STOOPID.

D'oh. I only use the Gmail app. I was one of those crackberry users with ten email addresses (hotmail, yahoo, blackberry.net, gmail, earthlink) and when I switched to the Epic, I realized I had to curb my addiction! Plus my wife said if I kept all my old emails she'd smother me with my own pillow while I sleep, so yeah, there's that too.
