Have you thought about using something like Python to send the mail?
The mail library is standard in Python, never used it on OS/400, but
have on many other platforms, very flexible and powerful.

I get filenames OK - the email contains this text:
--PART.BOUNDARY.1
Content-Type: application/octet-stream;name=XXX.YYY
Content-Description:
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64


I dont know enough about mime headers to know if this differs at all
from the standard so maybe their email retreival tool is unable to
adapt to minor changes & needs a little attention?

I would say find a better email client than SNDDST. It's quite poor and
unreliable. I quite using it years ago after pulling all my hair out,
and wrote my own client that I sell at www.bvstools.com/mailtool.html.

Two options with it.. the first is using the standard MAILTOOL product
and having mail delivered with the IBM SMTP server.

Because I also didn't care for the IBM SMTP server and MSF I also have
the MAILTOOL Plus option built into MAILTOOL which bypasses the IBM SMTP
server.

Or use SNDM from that japanese guy UZAEMON. It's totally free to use and
works like a charm.

and download the SNDM software.
