Sandy, This will probably show up on Friday :)
I had written you back as soon as I ready your post, along with everyone else's. It just seems to take hours, sometimes days for my posts to appear. I will read through your VBS script and try it out. I appreciate you taking the time to help me out with this. Thanks for your input.

A bit of penance for participating in all that OT activity. To do this, you will need a copy of bcwmail, a command-line SMTP sender that's exremely easy to use and cheap shareware. Download a copy from www.bcwaresystems.com before you start (I have no affiliation with them). It used to be called sendmail.exe, but Sendmail got mad. Its purpose is just that, to create a Win32 equivalent to running Sendmail from the *nix command line that has lots of features, like HTML (blah) and attachment support. These features make it better than Imail's command line by far. It has a nag at the bottom of every message if you don't register it--maybe that's even okay in your environment. Okay, now that you've got it, put it in the Imail directory. Create a Program Alias that you want to be handle the attachment feedback. (If you want different attachments to be linked to a user's sub-areas, you can also use rules and Info Manager's "After responding, forward mail to:" feature to filter the mail and forward it to the appropriate Program Alias.) To start, though, just create the PA. Have it point to: c:\winnt\system32\cscript.exe c:\imail\attachmentresponder.vbs Yes, this uses a WSH shell script. If you're concerned about security, disable the association of VBS files with WSH and name your script someting else, like ATTACHMENTRESPONDER.NOHACK. You're passing the name on the command line, so it will work with whatever name you want. The text file attached to this message is the framework for the ATTACHMENTRESPONDER script (you will have to adapt for your domain name and the actual binary file you want to send, but I think it's commented well enough to work that out easily). The script's main function is to parse out the original sender, then launch bcwmail to send a message back to the sender with the desired file attached. Write back if you have any difficulties.
