I use the mime tag, but what it sends is not readable by all mail readers.
I use this code:

<!--#sendmail smtphost="mail.mydomain.com"-->
From:<<!--#var email_from-->>
Subject:<!--#var email_subject-->
To:<<!--#var email_to-->>
<!--#mime type=text/plain encode=7bit-->
<!--#email_body-->
<!--#boundary type=text/html disposition=attachment encode=base64-->
<!--#var my_document-->
<!--#/mime-->
<!--#/sendmail-->


What shows up for the second part is this:


--192.168.8.9.503.18816.937995265.266.30862
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Disposition: attatchment
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

It's not a downloadable attatchment.

The mime tag isn't doing something right.

I wholeheartedly agree.  It's just that uneducated people are seeing this
base64 encoding, (or in 7bit it comes out as HTML code) and insisting that
it needs to be readable by MSword. blah, blah.  I want to do it with html,
but mimetools is preventing a lot of people form receiving it.

All my best,
