Re: Email attachments
revMail does not support attachments, but Shao Sean's libEmail and libSMTP stuff works great and supports attachments as well as lots of other great stuff. Go to http://www.shaosean.tk.

HTH...James Thanks for the commiseration. :) I hate to inconvenience my users by making them go find and figure out a compression utility. Thankfully Rev gives us built-in compression, so I added that to our file format. Feels kinda dumb though to have to do silly things like this just to compensate for email vendors who somehow can quite get around to reading the MIME spec. Rule #1 of user interface design: The user is in control. Translation for email software vendors: If the user says it's an attachment, it's an attachment. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FourthWorld.com ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
