Thanks for the reply. Yep, I know there are a variety of mail clients out there, so not everyone uses Mail. And that sucks. This program is actually a port of an iPhone application for which, different mail clients are not a problem. But at least to start, I'm only going to support Mail. I'll likely just copy the attachment to the desktop and let the non-Mail.app users handle it from there. For now at least.
