I am using the "build-attach-body" function if that makes a difference.  I 
need to put more into the headers of the email than the standard send 
function will let me do, like a delivery confirmation header.  If I remember 
correctly though, I had the same problem when using the standard send 
function.  The files are mixed types, some are ascii, some are binary, but 
that should be taken care of by the function right?
