Hi Martin,
I know nothing about nmh as I use mutt and with it I just use the file
attachment option and away it goes... So that is what I use but I think
there is a simpler solution if you have the resources:
save the files on a web server (or ftp site) and just post a URL to the
location of the files. This is easiest way for various reasons:
sending large attachments may not get through
the other person may not have the know-how or tools to get the
attachment
so this way they just point the browser, download, and done!
If you need security, you can save the files with password protection
like zip or use apache .htaccess.

also if the file is small enought, why not just send it as part of the
message, if its not binary info.
Cheers,
Kev
