Everybody seems to have missed this. There is some sort of API that an
application can use to send a file as an attachment. I don't know how it
works. Microsoft Word knows how it works. From within Word, you can say
"Send file as an attachment" and Word figures out whatever your default mail
application is, creates a new message, and then puts the current document
into that message as an attachment.
There is some way to do this. Word does it. Other applications do it. I want
to do it, and can't figure out how.
