First, add this header to the message:
Content-type: multipart/mixed; boundary="some_string_of_text"
MIME-Version: 1.0
start your mail with the normal body, and then any attachments you want,
encoded with mimeencode:
--some_string_of_text
Content-type: text/plain
This is the body of the mail
--some_string_of_text
Content-Type: application/octetstream
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
ENCODED ATTACHMENT HERE
--some_string_of_text--
_END_OF_MAIL_
I could send you a program that does this, but I'm feeling too lazy
right now.
