Thanks for looking into this.  I don't need a new exe immediately, 2.6.2
works for my limited application, but I will be happy to upgrade to the new
one when it is available.


I used notepad to save an empty Unicode file, which has the BOM.  I set up
two copies, one for the body and one for the attachment, and used echo to
write to them in a cmd /u shell.  I then mail them using blat 3.2.4 and I
worked perfectly.  The superdebugT output  is sort of elegant.  And if I use
the correct -attacht for the text file attachment instead of -attach, it's
even better.


Thanks,
