Excellent - thanks for the great tip. Now I just need to figure out 
how to add
a 3rd part framework to my dev environment ;-)

ALSO, I will look into this, though my application doesn't want to 
involve Mail
or any other email client on the sending side. It just expects to 
talk to an SMTP
server in the background. Recipients of email attachment will be 
expected to
receive (using any mail client), detach and double click attachment, 
to run
my application which will decode attachment.
