Nathan,

I don't understand the curl/wget option so I can't compare it to anything.
But if I'm going the script/email route, for me, it's easier to use
Sendmail from within a perl script, so I don't have to create 170 files.
BUT, we're still back to (in my case) 170 of these. I'd like to batch them
up at least, so I don't get 170 emails back (or in Paul's case, thousands)

We users want everything!

Thanks, Nathan.
