Re: Batch E-Mail
Mark, Try xmitip, we use it to do our scrt report. It is a long time since I refreshed it, and cannot tell you on which tape it lives, but it even has a tso panel in which you can do the same as batch, the formats, if I remember - already signed off for the week, includes pdf xls. Ours come as a comma delimited file that just flies thru to IBM with no modifications, and we havan't had any comebacks for months. Normally forget to upgrade.

Yah, but if someone wants to put a graphic letterhead/foot
on his message, he'd prefer that you not need to open it
with an external viewer.

In the extended BNF notation of [RFC 822], the Content-Disposition

Look at your raw message source. What Content-disposition:
do you have? I don't know the default. Read the RFCs.

Re: Batch E-Mail
I may be wrong, but I think it is up to the receiving email engine to open attachments in line or not. At least I am aware of that option and have fiddled with it from time to time on various email engines. We use the facility extensively to send reports. >From MS Outlook Help: "If the message format is Rich Text Format (RTF), >attachments will appear in the body of the message.
