Originally assigned to: @d99kris on GitHub.

I have tried opening nmail from a folder containing the target files, and just adding one file name in the attachment field, but then the attached file was 0B when I checked the the recipient email account. Full path did not work either, so obviously I am missing something.

Also, what is the separator, , or ;?

Sorry if I missed some instructions on that aspect.

Both relative path (e.g. just filename when starting nmail in same dir) and absolute path should work. The separator is ,. I probably need to document this properly somewhere.

Perhaps it would be good for nmail to support a file selection dialog, similar to how one can select recipients from the address book.

I reported #24 for a feature request to support a file selection dialog.

That would be awesome, the address book is quite nice I must say. It would be great if it could support entering absolute or relative paths to list files in other folders than pwd.

Now I don't know what failed on my end. I'll try again when sending log.txt for #22.

Ok sounds good. If you still face the issue, it would be great if you could share the log.txt when trying to send an attached a file. I realize you might need to use a different email client to actually send the log file to me, for time being.

I've documented how to add attachments in the README.md file now. Perhaps you could help report a new Github issue if you encounter any concrete bug. Thanks!
