Larry,
You have already seen quite a few good suggestions, but I
thought I would give you one more. It is not nearly as easy
as some of the packages mentioned, but it does work! I'm
not sure it would work for a PDF attachment though as I have
only done text attachments with this method.
Anyway, you can build your own mime email message packet and
send it to your SMTP server for processing. Here is a sample
CMS file that will send an email with an attachment.
