*nod*  We've actually had this one a few times before, too.  This addition
would be useful for more than just web updates, but also to send out attachments
that come in as part of MIME encoded mail messages.

I want this behaviour as well, It's just not high on my list. But I'd definitely
be happy to help you out making it go.

You're right that Notify ISA SendMessage.  You actually want to override
Prepare. (If Prepare succeeds, the scrips system calls Commit).

So, create NotifyWithAttachments.

set a sub Prepare that 
	calls SUPER::Prepare. 

	if that returns true, iterate through $self->TransactionObj->Attachments
	and add them to $self->TemplateObj->MIMEObj.

	(TransactionObj is an RT::Transaction object which already has all of
	this transaction's attachments already attached.  MIMEObj is a
	MIME::Entity.)


is that enough to get going?
