I could put a delay command between the send and quit commands but that would not account for a slow transfer and might time out before the file is completely sent. If I set the delay to 300 seconds [for example] - how do I tell Mac Mail application to run in the background until timeout?

this is what i do in a script that checks mail and waits until checking is done:

repeat while background activity count is greater than 0
delay 3 -- delay of 1 seems to stall Mail, 3 may too sometimes
end repeat

I tried this and it appears to be working perfectly.
I must say, that, I really appreciate code that APPEARS to be so simple AND works as expected.
An Elegant answer.

Thanks for the help. I will let you know how it works in the long run.

Best Regards
Oakley
