Okay, it looks like it is up to the recieving end's app or browser to render it inline because I dumped the TMail objects and the content- disposition was "attachment; filename=db.yml". I'm thinking of trying a different content-type like application/octet-stream or send a zip/ gz file instead.
How do you send a zip/gzip/bzip2 file? The File.read might not work correctly below are my thoughts.
