I expected that, Michel. ;) Although I'd already tried it without success, your reply at least nudged me to poke around a bit more, and I discovered that it is the .read() that causes the difficulty. This: <dtml-boundary type=application/octet-stream disposition=attachment encode=base64><dtml-var expr="restrictedTraverse(SendDoc).read()"></dtml-mime> </dtml-sendmail> fails with an attribute error on the read(). I got the read() syntax from the Zope book http://www.zope.org/Members/michel/ZB/AdvDTML.dtml and an archived list message http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope/2000-August/116944.html. It appears to be incorrect for this case, though I'll be damned if I know why. For the record, REQUEST.resolve_url still failed with a namespace error when I removed the read(). You've convinced me, I'll use restrictedTraverse from now on! :-)

Don't use REQUEST.resolve_url. It's depricated and it was pretty dumb to begin with. Use restrictedTraverse, which is documented in the online help system under the 'ObjectManagerItem' API.

Nope, same result with Methods instead of Documents.

There's no compelling reason, so it's worth a try. I'll see what happens.

Is there a reason that SendMail and MailSender are DTML Documents? Many namespace problems are solved by using DTML Methods instead, although I cannot say for sure that this is the problem here.

I hit one of those namespace/acquisition kind of things that let me know I'm a long way from achieving the Zope Zen. I want to give users an icon next <snipped the rest>
