As you might expect there are several ways of doing this, and it depends which email client you are using. VM, and Gnus both handle attachments out of the box, as far as I know, so it should be fairly obvious. RMAIL does not. I use the "etach" package to do this, which is fairly minimal but does the job. google should provide a URL.... Cheers Phil
