Here is how the email engine includes the attachments with the messages it generates: ------=_Part_121_540190.1158091033374 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----=_Part_122_19287723.1158091033374" ------=_Part_121_540190.1158091033374 Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=pic32524.gif Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=pic32524.gif Content-ID: pic32524.gif Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 So the attachment is a base64 encoded application/octet-stream. Found this interesting, but not very informative: http://kb.iu.edu/data/agtj.html Found this more insightful, specifically section 5.2: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2387.txt It looks as if it is is possible, but it is MTA and mail reader specific; not to mention the fact that Remedy would have to format the messages using this format, which I do not believe is possible.
