attachments with email (selfitem- sendtaskdescription)

[Adnan Alawi]

Well Sergey,
   Thanks for reply. I have future requirment where I need to force the
use to send an attachement and have to check that the attachment is
not empty.
 
I was wondering what is the best way to do this ?
 
Thanks
Adnan
