Hi Lenard,
You just beat me to it.
Suprise, suprise, I discovered the answer myself this time.
I have modified the script to allow the attachment(s) to still be
passed as a string.
Some error checking is also done to verify the attachment file exists.
I have also modified it so it can be used for multiple email addresses.
Here is the updated working script ...
