[KLUG Members] MIME attachments

[Chris Hansen]

Save your content as a file named something.mht and open with IE (since 
you seem to be troubleshooting under windows) to see how it looks.  
Also, go to a web page and save that as an .mht file (in IE, File->Save 
As->Single file) then use it's source as an example.. the .mht format is 
just multipart mime with base64 transfer encoded data for the binary 
content, same stuff you'll use for sending your messages with 
attachments, in fact the IE generated .mht files include "from" and 
"subject" lines.  Also make sure your Content-Transfer-Encoding matches 
what your actually supplying.
