Hi Shreerang, Thanks for trying to help. I tried that but the text in the
body then has to have an xml format <...>...</....> and I don't know this..
So if I put just the path in the body it complains about not being xml. If I
make up some format such as <file>/path/to/file</file> then it gives an
internal server error. This may actually be the way but I need to know what
the xml format should be.
Can anyone say.
John
