[Zope] need help on mail attachment using dtml

[Loren Stafford]

I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to do. But here's the multipart
sendmail syntax I use to handle uploaded resumes (CVs). It may give you some
other ideas to try. I suspect one of your problems is the <dtml-boundary
type="application/octet-stream"> statement. If you want your attachment to
behave as a GIF, it should probably have the mime-type for a GIF file.
