Perhaps not for your particular situation - my point is that there a lot of differing 
situations.

Well, my point is that that is *exactly* what it does.

That's a bizarre interpretation. If I want it to send a particular file, I want it to 
send that file. Doing as you declare above makes it impossible to set the program up 
to be able to used quickly.

Seeing as it seems that personal examples prove things beyond doubt, here's mine. I'm 
a sports journalist, and I need to file word docs to my editor on the buzzer. Can I 
set up the Bat so I can just tell it to send the email with file already attached as 
soon as I've finished and saved the doc? No, I need to save the doc, attach it and 
then send it. It might not seem like a lot, but when you're VERY pressed for time, and 
using a laptop, it's a lot.

Even Agent, brain-dead as it sometimes is, allows you to do the above.

My point here is that everybody has different needs, and are not necessarily idiots 
for wanting something different from someone else.
