Thanks. I'll try this. The reason I was doing it for every file was 
because, in my real, live file, I'm sending a notification e-mail for 
each file sent, with the filename in the subject line. I suppose I could 
still do that, after sending all the files en-masse. Just to a mail 
"each" for each PDF.
