Hi, 

The party line is to offer this suggestion:

>Use ftpmail if you want file service.

Well, a number of months ago I looked into this. I'm a newbie. I failed 
in my FTPMail efforts. The original author has not developed the title 
any longer. There are not others on this list then (on a few times) that 
wanted to offer any basic help. 

I think it might be good to distance MJ 2.0 from the FTPmail as a 
supporting product worth a mention. 

A better alternative is needed, perhaps. I think it might make some great 
sense for MJ 2.+ to take over some of the FTPmail duties -- or else we 
need to make another helper application -- or else we need to bring that 
program to life in some way. 

FWIW, this guy didn't find ftpmail to be any kind of viable option when I 
examined it.

Personally, I'm still sorta looking for a way to make a good auto-reply 
robots that can send a 1-page email along with a 200k or so email 
attachment. FWIW, the email attachments are going to be E-books in a Mac 
format or PDF files. I think that this is a common need.
