Apologies for the non-functional digital ID.  I swear - this email stuff
will never take off.

 {attach:filename.doc} places "filename.doc" as the link name.  What I want
 to do is give it a "friendlier" name.  Many of the documents we want to
 post
 have names like:
        2006.06.11.docid-01234567890-app8192.pdf
 Which isn't friendly at all, when what we want to say is "Approved
 Contract
 (PDF)"
 I'll use the <a href> version.
