Thank you everyone for your replies. Laura's original solution of just setting the mime type works for my situation, but it looks like there's a variety of possibilities out there to cover different situations.
Thanks, Matt, for pointing out that this was ASPMail on the system. It's a customer's machine, and I copied code they were using to send text-only form responses to themselves, so I wasn't aware they had ASPMail loaded. You learn something new every day. Why ASPMail gave their object such a cyptic name is beyond me. Grant, if you find anything with HTML emails from ASPMail that include an attachment, it sounds like that would add a useful bit of knowledge to the discussion. A few people mentioned CDO. Do any of you have the appropriate code snippet for specifying which host CDO should use for mail sending? I know there's an equivalent of "Mailer.RemoteHost = smtpMailHost" for CDO, but I think it requires declaring an instance of a SMTPMail object somewhere. I've not had to use it before, so I don't really remember what it is.

Instructions for this component can be found on the following page: http://www.serverobjects.com/comp/Aspmail4.htm You control the content-type with the "ContentType" property. It appears however that you can only set one content-type per message, and you are therefore SOL with this component. If you are on a Windows 2000 machine, look into using the built-in CDO object for sending E-mail. You can definitely construct a message with both content-types. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cdosys/html /_cdosys_imessage_interface.asp You can also Google for many other coding examples using "CDO ASP".
