Erik,

I am back home from vacation, and was able to debug through the Blat source
with your example. I found that version 3.05 stopped sending binary files
as message bodies, while earlier versions sent them as you want. I have
made a change for version 3.2.1 that will let you send binary files again.
Right now, it is after midnight here at home, so I will need a day or two to
get an update posted to Yahoo! and SourceForge for download.
