That works, but it doesn't meet the stated requirements, because you'd have to remember to delete the file that was created. He said he was trying not to have to do that (though it doesn't seem that hard to me...). :) The biggest problem that I see is that Mutt uses the name of the file to determine the MIME type of the attachment. Without a filename, Mutt won't know what type to assign the attachment. Using a named pipe is a nice trick to give the attachment a filename, but having to write the pipe several times in order to meet Mutt's habit of re-reading it several times is just a bit too weird; seems like it's easier to just go ahead and write the file, call Mutt, and then delete it. -- David DeSimone | "The doctrine of human equality reposes on this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | that there is no man really clever who has not Hewlett-Packard | found that he is stupid." -- Gilbert K.
