When I wrote the tinderbox client (which I will post on cpan once the server is up and running), I created Tindermail.pm which handles all the details of emailing the results back. Instead, we stick them in one central place and have a client helper (which I am working on now) that uses Net::FTP to fetch each log from the tinderbox clients and email the results to the server. It takes an extra step and isn't pretty, but it works. Zach
