Trouble with Attachment macros

Trouble with Attachment macros Unable to attach files with %ATTACHMENTS macro in forum The Bat! - Configuring the E-mail Client.

====quote====

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

=============

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??

====quote====

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.

=============

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

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

%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

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"
