Michel,
Worked like a charm. I t read fine on a Windows NT , Macintosh and Linux workstation. The Linux workstation changed the bgcolor, but I'm sure that's minor mail server stuff. Great job Michel! All the best, Jason Spisak webmaster@mtear.com -----Original Message-----

I love this attatchment capability! I am a mime newbie so I'm not sure how to tell the mail-server that the attatchment is html and then actually have it come accross that way. The code below send fine, and it shows up as an /text/html mime atatchment in a Netscape 4.08 browser, but the name of the attatchment is "Part 1.2" and no 'body' of the mail message comes accross. Also when I view tha attatchment, it is scrambled beyond recognition. I've tried 7bit, base64 encodings. How does this mime beast work exactly?
<psuedo code>
<!--#sendmail smtphost="mail.foo.com"--> From:<<!--#var email_from-->> Subject:<!--#var email_subject--> To:<<!--#var email_to-->> <!--#mime type=text/html-->
Attatchments: <!--#boundary type=text/html disposition=attatchment--><!--#var "REQUEST['attatchment'].read()"--><!--#/mime--> <!--#var email_body--> <!--#var email_signature--> <!--#/sendmail-->
</psuedo code>
Try:
<!--#mime type=text/plain encode=7bit--> <!--#var email_body--> <!--#var email_signature--> <!--#boundary type=text/html disposition=attachment encode=7bit--><!--#var "REQUEST['attachment'].read()"--><!--#/mime-->
The message body should come first, it's not seperate from the mime, it's *part* of the mime. Remember, sendmail, and SMTP in general, don't know anything about MIME, as far as mail transport is concerned, a MIME attachment is just part of the "message". If you place data after the #/mime tag, it is undefined what a mailer will do with it, but it probably won't consider it part of the message that is displayed to the user. My guess is most mailers will just ignore it because it isn't bounded at the end.
The #mime tag does not currently support given attachment parts names, so your attchments will be given whatever name your mail wants to give it. This why it is called 'Part 1.2'. This will be a feature in the actual release.
