[rt-users] how to access content for an attachment in scrip?

[John Alberts]

Thank you.  I'll give this a try tomorrow.  I figured there had to be a
simpler way to get what I wanted, but I am just fumbling around trying to
figure things out.  It actually took me almost 5 hours of trial and error
to get what I have working.
