You'll need to use External Methods to use this module, or allow access
to it so that you can use Python Scripts.

That's what I was afraid of. I love Zope and Python (and am getting ready
to write a magazine article about the two) but jumping through Pythonic
hoops to do stuff that would be easy in DTML drives me nuts.
Thanks for the pointer, though. I'd stumbled across that earlier, but had
kept looking in search of something easier.

Here is some to send email + attachement. I used it to send PDFs. Use
it as a guide if you choose the external python method option. <br>
I think MimeWriter makes it easier. <br>

Best luck,<br>
