I understand what you want and there are ways almost what you wish. They have to do with templates, but I suppose that won't be no problem for you. The first way is to create a QT (quick template) with the the text %Attachfile="MyPath\MyFile" with MyPath\MyFile directing to the document you're editing. Call the QT 'attach' Write a nice polite mail to your editor When your mail is done (without the attach) write the word 'attach' in it, no quotes and separated from all other text with spaces Place the cursor at the end of the word 'attach' Edit your document, finisah it, save it Go to the edit mail screen with your message Press Ctrl-space (that executes the QT, as they're executed by typing their name followed by Ctrl-space) Press F2 and the message is on its way. The other way is to write a nice message to your editor and save it as a text file This way has two varieties, either you write the text as a template, with besides the necessary text also these macros: %AttachFile="MyPath\MyFile"%- %To=""%To='"My Editor" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>'%- %Subject="Recent sports tournament"%- Now you create a batch file With two commands saying: c:\progra~1\thebat~1\thebat.exe/mailu=MyAccount;t=MyPath\MyTemplate c:\progra~1\thebat~1\thebat.exe/send* Save the batch file to your desktop as sendnow.bat When you've finished and saved your article you double click on the sendnow icon on your desktop and everything gets executed. The other variety of the batch file way is to write a simple message to your editor, save it as text, but don't use any macros Create a batch file with a slightly more complicated first command: c:\progra~1\thebat~1\thebat.exe/mailu=MyAccount;[EMAIL PROTECTED];a="MyPath\MyFile";c="MyPath\MyMessage";s="My Tournament" c:\progra~1\thebat~1\thebat.exe/send* For the rest it's the same as the first variety Note that for both of the batch files you don't need to use quotes except for those parameters that include spaces.

I've never said anything that could interpreted as that. The only thing I said was that you're an idiot when you're expecting a feature to do something else than it says. Though I didn't put it that harshly. -- Groetjes, Roelof Disclaimer: Any opinion stated in this message is not necessarily shared by my budgies or rabbits. ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
