Automatic email with attachment?

[Patton Echols]

I have a need to email files to various folks on a regular basis.  I 
would like to automate the process.  My idea is that a file would get 
dropped into a particular folder.  Normally the folder would be empty.  
But when a file is dropped there, it is automatically attached to an 
email and sent to an email address.

Does anyone know of a prebuilt utility that will do this?  If I need to 
script it, does anyone have a script that they use for this purpose? 

I have a vague memory of something like this on the list, but I have 
been unable to construct a search that gets me anything. 

(The worse bit is I think I participated in the thread, and I STILL 
can't find it.  Obviously I'm an idiot!)

Thanks for aiding the hopeless
