The thing is, I may have dozens, if not more, messages to send at a
given time and I think it would be rather kludgy to run TB! each time
to send out each of the messages.

Yep, good idea if I were to mass mail everyone using the same text
body of the message, but I am not. :-(

ALL of the message is defined by the calling program. Yes, unique
names(filenames) are used.
