Hallo David,

No, you can't. The outgoing filters are triggered after the message is
sent.

Hi Joseph,

Thanks for your reply.

on 8/9/03 you wrote:

Yes of course. I had not thought of adding the text to the macro,
though.

There is a much longer QT on the FAQ page:
http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/Library.html#attachments+listing
which purports to do the same thing. I don't really understand regex and so I
can't decipher the difference.

... I guess, theoretically at least, one could set up an outgoing mail
filter that intercepted the message and created a new one adding the
ATTACHMENTS macro onto the original mail.

Do the outgoing mail filters ~catch~ mail before they are
sent?

Has anyone ever tried this?

David,

Perhaps (hopefully) someone will improve on this response, but, unless
there is a way to do exactly what you--and I and no doubt others--are
looking for, the next best thing I've found is to create a short QT
that can be typed in the message at the end, before sending. (If you
send attachments nearly always, you could even put the QT in your
templates and just press ctrl+spacebar before you send it to the
outbox.) The QT I use, invoked by the easily remembered "att", is:

%IF:"%ATTACHMENTS"!="":"Attached file(s): %ATTACHMENTS."
