ot: mail flag for attachment in unix

[Dennis Malen]

Mark,

I believe I did purchase LM from you years ago and you did spend a lot of 
time to configure it on AIX. I do think it worked at that time and it did do 
attachments.

We used it for a while as I remember, and stopped once everyone had access 
to outlook express. LM did work very well.

When I saw the post on MAIL it provided me with some ideas as how I could 
easily use it with system calls. It worked easily and I didn't consider LM 
which I should have. The processing I created through system calls works 
fine and have been completed.

Thanks for the reminder though. I would definitely recommend LM as it did 
the job and was very inexpensive.
