With the sharepoint sdk, you can create your own webparts. If you add them to the GAC you can include them on your sharepoint site. You'd of course have to build a webpart for emailing though. |

Some hints:
- Your `CHAR` and `VARCHAR` columns will use up to 3 times more disk space.
- Use `SET NAMES utf8` before reading or writing to the database. If you don't this then you will get partially garbled characters. |

Not really. You need to treat it like an e-mail attachment, where the file is generally copied to a temp folder that is cleaned out periodically. |
With VBScript (WSH) you could check it with the .state property. This script shows that property being used in a different application but should help illustrate the idea:

I'm going to say that the answer to your question (is it possible?) is no. I don't know that definitively, but the poster who commented just above halL ([in the comments on this page][1]) gave a work-around for the problem -- so I assume it is possible to deal with when parsing manually.
