We have a customer who sends the same 6 files to another location every day. Every day the content of the files changes (to reflect their daily sales). Netscape "Template" will allow creating a message with attachments, but the attachments don't get refreshed when you select the template. Is there a way to use a template idea, and get the attachments to be refreshed to contain the most up-to-date content? -- Nancy

I have a simular scenario. I have specific files which are emailed to sites with attachments on a daily basis. Here is what I did to solve this problem.

There is a commandline SMTP relay program called BLAT. With this program i was able to writea script in WSH which generates an email with the attachment and sends it via SMTP to the proper Email address. Ex:

BLAT c:\files.txt -to whomever@hotmail.com -attacht c:\files.txt

Write a simple bat file with these commandlnes in it, install BLAT and schedule it using AT scheduler and Boom there you go.
