Alexander, thanks for your response. I've pursued further, and the string that Scid generates appears to contain "attachment='file://C:/Program Files/...'" -- that is, two slashes after the "file:", not three. That string doesn't work when I try to run it manually, whereas the "file:///..." definitely does.
Hope this helps....
