Hi,
I was wondering if anyone can help me.
I would like to have people send files through a form so I have created a form:
*snip*
Now (theoretically) you are supposed to be able to attach a file (either a .doc or a .xls file and it magically gets emailed to me. I get an email but the file does not attach.
Not quite. To attach a file, you must make your message a "multi part MIME" message. This is actually not all that difficult to do, and you can find the details in the DTML documentation.
Unfortunatley I am not the most techo-minded person around and I have probably missed the most simplest bit but I just cant make it work!!! This whole Python and external methods and all that sort of stuff has been confusing me like you wouldnt believe! Soooooo I was hoping that there would be some wonderful person out there to show me the light! :)
One think you might want, tho, is to get the MIME patch, that allows expressions for the various fields in the dtml-sendmail tags. This will be helpful for things like user-supplied file names.

Look forward to hearing from you!
