Funny, when i try to attach a folder, I get the message "Only files or objects can be attachments. C:\foldername is a folder and cannot be attached". This makes sense since a folder is really just a file system construct - it does not exist as a transportable thing. That being said, you could use WinZip or another application to save the folder and it's contents into a zip archive. The receipient could then decompress the file which will recreate the folders and copy the files into the correct directories.
