Thanks Richard, I will give that a try. Thanks also to Warren for pointing
out the potential problems.
Probably a CGI script (as mentioned in a later email from Richard) would be
the safest way to go but I'd be starting from ground zero on how to do that.

No you are not the only one. But I have decided some time ago that the reason
for this is that our original estimate of what it takes to accomplish a task is
largely an illusion, due to our ability to imagine. What it actually took to
accomplish any given task is what it is when we look back in

That question came up just last night at a programmer meetup. Everyone
I wasn't blaming the tools by any means. I guess eventually, you build up
a library of infrastructure tools (license checking, delivery mechanisms,
bug reporting, etc) just as you do with code libraries so it becomes less
of a headache.

Yes, but I'm thinking more of things like:
- setting up a web site
- making non-zip files downloadable
- enabling some sort of demo/licensing scheme that's not subject to hacking
within 5 minutes
- setting up a method of reporting bugs
- code signing Mac apps
- making a .dmg file for Macs
-
I notice that revMail does not have a way to attach a file to the email it
creates. Is there perhaps a plugin or library that will provide that
functionality?

Looks like that won't help.
The purpose for this is for a user of my software to send an email to
support and to automatically attach a file to the email that contains
information about the user's environment. Sarah's stack requires the name
of the SMTP server and since that will be different on
Peter,
you could try to use the smtp server which is responsible for your
emailaddress. Your server normally will accept emails for your emailaddress.
I write normally, because there are cases where this will not work. For example
if your smtp server uses reverse dns to check the sender.

Can you use On-Rev for mail sending?

All good ideas.
Also, I'm not sending emails invisibly. The option to email support
gathers all the environment info and supplies it to revMail as the message
with a few blank lines at the top for the user to give details of the
problem.

Thanks Warren.
I'm beginning to think Matthias' idea of putting the environment data on
the clipboard and asking the user to paste it into the email client of
his/her choice may be the easiest and safest way to do this.
