Do you mean to send a message like with the write command or do you mean
to automagically send a message accompanying a particular file download,
or...

If A, I doubt it exists currently, if B, there should be a way, if there
isn't already.  Regardless, I suspect something could be hacked
together....

It's _possible_ to hack nearly anything that you can find source code for.

Hope that helps,
