I plugged your suggestions into a copy of the source (with the actual call to MMAIL/EMLMSG disabled) and tried it.

It works beautifully, but I still don't understand why externally-described mode failed, or especially, why it threw a CPF5152 on a write that actually DID make it into the file.

Regardless, given that satisfying the customer is more important than understanding the cause, I'm going to plug your changes into the live version after lunch.
