Excellent. Thanks for the clarification. I'll use the semicolon for
comments in future. (Blat has so many command line options that I missed
the -comment entry in the syntax.txt file!) :^)
Not a problem, but it does appear that the 'quotation marks round files
with spaces' rule is being ignored in attachment file lists though as
both attachments shown in the following '-af' file that I use are being
sent despite having spaces in their file paths but no quotes round them!

Just curious!
