Wow.... I haven't looked at the details of the code, but if it all works as
specified here then its a real winner.
Others will have to be the judge of incorporating it, of course - but its a
grand idea and one Steve and I had in mind as we got the MimeMail task
included as an optional task.
Will it still e-mail the text of a file as the body without uuencoding it as
the <mail> task does? That functionality should still remain somehow since
folks surely rely on it.... and also multiple text files being concatenated
into the body.
