Hi Erik,

> Changed back to an older versie 3.0.1, which works fine again. Any ideas?

I'm surprised this even works in any version. Blat uses the first
filename to send as a body. The ATT00001 attachment is usually an
indication that Outlook is trying to make sense of a message and is
failing.

What you should do is specify the body text file you want to send and
use the attach parameter to attach the binary zip file.

Suppose you have a "body.txt" with the contents something like
"Bijgaand een zip bestand met de gevraagde informatie." (or whatever
you want). Then you use a command like this

F:\Webbeheer\blat.exe F:\Webbestanden\body.txt -to <e-mailadres>
-subject "<password>" -base64 -attach F:\Webbestanden\otho.zip

in your batch file. I prefer to use base64 as it seems (nowadays) more
commonly accepted than uuencode.
