mutt in filepro and file permission

[Jean-Pierre A. Radley]

| filePro 5.0.13 on SCO 6
| 
| I am trying to use mutt on a system line in filePro to send an email 
| with a PDF attachment.  The PDF file is on a shared drive and is created 
| by a windows program and it get;s the permission of the username that is 
| logged into windows.  Even though the shared folder is owned by filePro, 
| using a chmod on the system line will not change the permissions, and 
| mutt will not pickup the file to attach. 
| 
| I need to change the permission on the PDF file, or perhaps do a script 
| that filePro will call that will run mutt, keeping the same user name as 
| who is logged in and using filePro to be the from name.  The PDF file is 
| Not created by the user, but by a different filename and a program that 
| runs on windows as that other user.
| 
| I hope that my ramblings are clear, and I accept all ideas graciously.

Telling mutt to fake the From: header is no big deal, either by setting
EMAIL in mutt's enfivronment, or setting "from" in the invoker's .muttrc.

A file's permissions can be changed only by its owner (and of course by
root).

So exactly what permissions does the PDF file have?
