You could check $?, but without access to windmail logs, you're poking in the dark

    I have now got to the bottom of the problem. The code was OK.
    The issue was that the document that I wanted to attach to the email had to be on the same server as I was running the script on. I can live with that, but it would be more user friendly if it could be on any server! Any suggestions as to how that would be achieved?

      I already told you. This is a user permissions issue. Likely the user your webserver (and thus your script) runs as has no access to network resources. This is usually a good thing.

      Yes, upload file first to server, then attach
