Re: do I always need to specify an encoding with Email::MIME?

I'm trying to use Email::MIME to send a simple email with a .doc file as an
attachment. I receive it fine with Gmail, but my job email chokes on it when
it tries to scan the attachment for viruses ('UNSCANABLE').
send SMTP = Email::MIME-create(
Please consider using Email::Sender instead of Email::Send. Seriously, it's
just as easy and so much better in the long run. Ask me more on IRC if you
like.
parts = [
Email::MIME-create(
body = The exam file is attached to this message.,
),
Email::MIME-create(
body = io($EXAM),
attributes = {
filename = $EXAM_FILE_NAME,
content_type = 'application/msword',
},
),
],
I suggest doing so. It won't hurt, and it can prevent various forms of
error. I suggest using quoted-printable for the text and base64 for the
Word document.

do I always need to specify an encoding with Email::MIME?
Hi,
I'm trying to use Email::MIME to send a simple email with a .doc file as an
attachment. I receive it fine with Gmail, but my job email chokes on it when
it tries to scan the attachment for viruses ('UNSCANABLE').
send SMTP = Email::MIME-create(
header = [
To = $FROMADDR,
From= $OWNER_EMAIL,
Subject = Your exam file,
],
parts = [
Email::MIME-create(
body = The exam file is attached to this message.,
),
Email::MIME-create(
body = io($EXAM),
attributes = {
filename = $EXAM_FILE_NAME,
content_type = 'application/msword',
},
),
],
);
Should I include an 'encoding' attribute for both parts, and if so, what should
it be? Would that make it more friendly to different MTAs?
