Does anyone know how to write a batch file to send an email using Blat.exe?

I can send no problem from an msdos window, using the syntax:

blat [filepath] -s ["subject"] -t recipient@wherever.com

but when I try to use this as a batch file (with just the exact same line) it goes into an infinite loop...

Any ideas?

Problem solved.

I'd called my batch file 'blat.bat' (sorta obvious), and it was calling itself rather than blat.exe... Renamed it and all was well.

(thanks to Tim from the Yahoo blat forum)

(Definition of 'recursive' = see 'recursive')

All the best,
Wolfpeach
