The macro was really only designed for use with Microsoft Outlook.

Hi,

I've been using the Doug Robbins instructions for attaching files to a
mass email, and (to this point) everything has worked great. Here's
my question:

When I run the macro, the first character of my message is replaced
with my first attachment. For instance, if my message is:

"Hi. Thanks for the attachment."

I get: "<<AttachedFile>>i. Thanks for the attachment."

From the files that I send (ie looking in my "sent items" box), the
first character is missing, but Yahoo! and other internet mail
programs seem smart enough to compensate. (Too bad I'm not only
mailing to Yahoo emails.)

Second question: It's a little confusing to attach files at the top of
my email. Is there a way to force the attachment to the bottom, or
(better yet) into the body of my email?

Thanks!
