Dave,
I really don't know the answer and I guess that someone else will but, just
in case:
My suggestion would be to construct the various e-mails tags much as you
have shown with the select statement for mailto. Select is very versatile in
being able to add-in text!
Attachments should be no different, probably separated by a comma or a
semi-colon for multiples. I don't suppose the help files for OE are any use
but you could try them otherwise it's trial and error based on what you
already know.
I suppose that you would want to do something like this:
out filename.$$$
select [mailto clause]
select [cc clause]
...
select [attachments clause]
out screen
then move the file to your outbox directory and launch OE.
I don't think that you want to use any parameters because simply opening and
connecting OE should send and receive mail. The difficulty will probably be
getting the file into OE in which case try bcc-ing (blind copy) a copy to
the originator and using some other method to send the mail.
Used to do this sort of thing with Lotus Notes but that's a different ball
game!
Good luck,
Regards,
Alastair.
