You mean scp to my recipient? Or to my home server? In the first case, I don't see how it could simply be possible if the recipient doesn't have a ssh server running on his/her machine. And in the second case, I simply don't know how to do that from my windows box at work.

Well didn't think about that (I don't use Samba). Would it be difficult to implement (and just possible from work)? I'll have to think about it. Does anyone have another idea? Thanks, steve
