Hallo Alexander,

Not that that I'm aware of.

But there's a work around
%AttachFile='c:\file\foo.txt'
Will attach the file, when the file doesn't exist, it gives the text:
Cannot find file c:\file\foo.txt

So the only thing we need to do is redirect that output text.
We can do that by using a variable
I tested this with the macro below:

%_NullText="%AttachFile='c:\file\foo.txt'"%-

When the file is found, it'll be attached
When the file isn't found the text 'Cannot find file c:\file\foo.txt'
is assigned to %_NullText and as long as you don't use %_NullText
anywhere else, you won't find its value in your message.
