Output
Depending on the options, each email is sent as a data file, followed by each of its attachments
sequentially.
Technical
If you use Email input tasks to capture data encoded using a Double-Byte character set
(such as those used for Japanese or Chinese, for instance), it is preferable to use
attachments rather than the email body to carry the data from its source to the input task,
as data corruption is less likely to occur using this method.
