Michael:
I've got a class that does that from our Expresso App Framework (e.g. allows
you to specify an email attachment, and is built on JavaMail), in fact it's
built into a little utility program that can e-mail all the files in a given
directory to a user, invokable from the command line. If you like I can
email you just that bit directly, or you can download the whole framework
(it's open source) from our site at http://www.javacorporate.com. The class
you're looking for is MailFiles.java in the com.javacorporate.common.server
package.
Let me know!
