If you need to add an attachment, there is a way of doing it in the body 
of an email - UGLY WARNING.

Simply uuencode the attachment and dump it into the body of the message. 
Many mailers will recognise and decode it, but many won't - its a /very/ 
old (pre-MIME) way of sending files over email. Works, though - I have 
to use it occasionally on a SCO box (which doesn't have a MIME-capable 
mailer).
