Trouble with Attachment macros, Unable to attach files with %ATTACHMENTS macro

The Bat Version:    3.0 Professional Edition

I've been trying to create a mailing list that allows attachments bu have been unable to get the attachment macros to work.  According to the help the %ATTACHMENTS macro should insert whatever attachments were in the original file.  I have yet to see this work.

I have even tried:

%ATTACHFILE="%ATTACHMENTS"

Can you tell me what I might be doing wrong?
I've attached the exact text I'm using below:

Code
%TEXT
%ATTACHFILE="%ATTACHMENTS"

%ATTACHFILE="filepath"
attach a file determined by the filepath

but
%ATTACHMENTS
insert the list of the files attached to the current message (no filepath :!: - only list)

So, it's a problem - you should find another way

But you can try to use another actions - for example:"Redirect the message"

The only actions that include the sending along of attachments are redirecting and forwarding. As you'd like to manipulate the message a bit, I'd suggest forwarding as a filter action, since that enables you to set a template.

The %ATTACHFILE="%ATTACHMENTS" didn't seem right given the documentation.  I was drawing at straws at this point, primarily since the %ATTACHMENTS command was supposed to do the trick.  It did not do anything tho??

I'll give this a shot.  Thanks for your help :)
