Fist of all, many thanks to everybody who responded!
The overwhelming response was to use the -s option with the if statement to
check to see if the file has any size before emailing it. If I have the
authority on the other box, I can perform the test before I ever ftp the
file down to the UNIX box.
My original post is below.
Thanks!
