Just found something else .....

I deleted the .flo file and tried this again but before sending the file, I had
a look at the .flo file and the path to the file is wrong. So, I manually
corrected the path and the file was sent this time. However, after looking at
the mailer logfile I spotted this .....

I wouldn't have expected the file to be deleted, so I looked on my HDD and the
file is, in fact, still there. Cosmetic error in the logfile reporting? 

Regards,
Martin
