Hi Steve.

Thanks for the reply, but it's not quite what I need unless I'm
missing something. I use Pegaus mail for all my other mail needs,
but I can't find the ability to attach the newly created game
files. I have version 2.4.

I use a distribution list to send the same message's to all of my
game players. Things like when the next turn is due to run, etc.
These are things that all players in a game need to be told,
identicly. But as the players each need a *different* file
attached to thier e-mail, and NOT sent to the other players in
the list, a distribution list seems to be the wrong tool.

I use an address book to send each of them thier individual game
file as an attachment. I really want to be able to do all the
file attaching with one button click in an address book of some
kind.

If I'm missing something, then please let me know!

As an aside, I find that if I use the filter rules in Pegasus to
try to automaticly download the game files I am sent by players,
that they are usually corrupt. And the windows with messages etc
won't stay at the size I select. I hate that. But other than
those minor problems, Pegasus is a great program.

Anyone got any other ideas? Anyone want to WRITE one! :-)
