Dear aheylin,

Did you say Perl ? Here is a very easy to use (no perl knowledge required) Perl script I wrote that will send email with:
unlimited receipients
unlimited attachments
compressed attachments (separate zip files)
compressed attachments (one "big" zip file)
3 predefined html styles for your text
no other email software is needed.

ps1. You must have Perl installed (it is not compiled to exe)
ps2. If you want the compressed attachments you
must give the command "ppm install Archive-Zip"
to install the zip perl module.
Tested only at win2k.
