I no one able to offer me any advice on sending an email with an attachment
please?
Unlikely, since I doubt many people would want to do such a thing; that
you got no response earlier tends to give credibility to that suggestion.
Personally, I can't imagine forcing a TIFF file down anyone's mailbox.
If I _did_ want to do this, however, I'd probably start doing some
research myself, specifically looking at command-line programs to encode the
image into BASE64 for includion into the message (hint: mpack is one, but may
not be the best choice). I'd also probably look at raw multipart email
messages, learning how they were constructed so I could construct my own
wrapping the encoded TIFF file. I'd likely also read up on the various MIME
types commonly used in email so I understood what I was doing in the first
place. And finally I'd consider whether what I _really_ wanted was to make
the TIFF file available through HTTP and simply send a text message with the
URL in it to the recipient of my autoresponder instead of forcing the TIFF
itself into their mailbox.
But that would just be me...
