Here is the script I have been trying. I have tried commenting out various boundary lines, but without any improvement on the fact that the text part, "This is some text", is coming through as an attachment and the main body of the email is empty. The binary file attachment is coming through just fine though, so there is progress :-)</P

Thanks again for looking
