Not even when you create the message with the correct MIME-headers and base64-encode your attachment within the correct
MIME-section?That's a fair amount of code to write, but a stored procedure in, say TCL, should be able to handle that.
Oram I missing something? 

Whether it's a good idea to let the database encode attachments and send e-mails is a different matter, but if it isn't
doingmuch beside that - well, why not?
