>How would you handle this if it was presented to you?
My initial reaction as I started reading your post was that you were
faced with a situation where you effectively wanted to send a variety of
'attachments' to an EDI message, most of which were not really intended
for automatic computer processing - and that the solution was to send a
reference to them, with the attachments placed on a web or (secure) FTP
server. This was the solution you proposed.
I was slightly amused by the fact that my support function for client
EDI systems involves sending binary email attachments (executables and
compiled tables) and, because of the increasingly aggressive mail
scanning carried out by many companies, I now as a matter of course
place the files on a webserver and send only the URL in the mail body
itself.

Chris
