Send 1 file per email in automator

Hi,

I want to create a script in automator to allow me to distribute my photos by ftp and email automatically in a folder action.


I have currently go it linked to a folder on the desktop called test (until I have it perfected.)


I have managed to make it distribute to specified ftp servers using multiple instances of http://editkid.com/upload_to_ftp/ (1 for each server)


I have also managed to get it to email all photos to a specified email address with the subject being the name of the first picture


This has been achieved by using the following apple script and setting the response to a variable:


on run {input, parameters}


tell application "System Events"

return name of first item of input

end tell


end run


What I need, is for this to happen but sending each photo in a separate email with their file name in the subject line.


How would I go about doing this??


Thanks,


Timbo Cole

One way would be to use the Dispense Items Incrementally action from http://automator.us/leopard/downloads/ - this action is used with a Loop action to step through the individual Finder items in the input list.
