Yes, this is annoying and slightly confusing, I've made a note on the 
revelent issue:

Oops, thanks for finding that, I've fixed that for the next release.

The user executing the python script that calls add_file needs to have 
the 'Use mailhost services' permission, did they?
Shane Hathaway's VerboseSecurity product may help you figure out what's

Yes, well, see my other reply about this...

Oops, another example corrected, the source should read:

<tal:body xmlns:tal="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/tal"
           xmlns:metal="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/metal"
 >Dear <tal:x replace="options/mto"/>,

<tal:x replace="user/getId"/> would like to thank you for your interest in:
<tal:x replace="root/absolute_url"/>

<tal:x replace="options/message"/>

cheers,

The Web Team
</tal:body>

cheers,

Chris - who does appreciate all the testing you're doing :-)
