Thanks Stefan.

I've been trying this again and I've now got an error report which says -

- --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function mm-substring-no-properties)
  (mm-substring-no-properties file)
  (mml-insert-empty-tag 'part 'type type 'filename (mm-substring-no-properties

  (let ((head (if (and (message-in-body-p) (not mml-attach-files-at-end)) nil 
(point)))) (if (or head mml-attach-files-at-end) (goto-char (point-max)))

So how can I get round this please, as my lisp knowledge or/and skills could 
easily be bettered by a goldfish?

Thanks
