Actually... as far as a lot of users are capable of thinking, that's exactly what SMTP should stand for: "I attach this file and send it, could it be simpler?". And you know something? I can see their point. Which I suppose is a good reason why we should work towards ASMTP, a 8-bit clean, mandatory endpoint authenticated SMTP (as in no backscatter, something using mandatory header signing). Beautiful! (it's just a dream, there is no such thing. Which is fine right now, as chances are someone would have made it using XML). -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
