Looks nice.
You don't mention this here, but don't forget that the binaries have
to be encoded (preferrably uuencoded) before mailing.
(Normal mail generally won't handle 8-bits transfers correctly.)
The receiver then has to decode (uudecode) the message to extract the binary.
The binary can be shown by viewers as QPEG or CSHOW (on DOS machines).
