Hmmm...  Nobody wants to come to the party...  Guess I'll keep my own
thread going in case anyone else out there ever has the problem...

Here are the vitals on my local sandbox environment:

Servlet Container Apache tomcat-5.0.24
Java 1.4.2._04-b05
JavaMail 1.4
JavaBeans(tm)Activation Framework 1.1

The following source creates an email message and attachment and sends
via javamail.  All works well in my local sandbox environment.  Mail
message with attachment arrive without a hitch.

I've been working with my host on why deploying this produces no error
messages, but no mail message either.  They are perplexed.  They have
linux servers running Resin.  Does anyone out there see any
incompatibility here?
