Hi Greg, You should be able to read the file while the program is running. Check out this quick example: https://gist.github.com/ihabunek/5765463
It's reading the file contents while logging to it in. The appender acquires a lock before writing to the file, but releases it after writing. The log file should not be locked. Now, I don't know how you're accessing the file, or how you're sending it via email. Maybe you can send me a code snippet which demonstrates your problem?
