Hi All,
I have a perl script that emails attachments, but there seems to be a 
problem with it
When I receive the email its fine, but two others have received it, and 
the file is 0 bytes
My email client is Lotus Notes, while theirs is Outlook XP & Outlook 
Version 6.

I have also checked in mutt, and everything seems to be fine. Has anyone 
come up with this problem?

This is what the raw email looks like from the output of the linux 'mail' 
command:

>From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Jun 26 08:06:43 2003
Envelope-to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Getronics Import Rejected
Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="====1056578626===="
Mime-Version: 1.0
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

--====1056578626====--

This is the perl script that emails the file:

 %mail = ( To       => $imp_failmail,
           From     =>'[EMAIL PROTECTED]',
           Subject  =>'Getronics Import Rejected',
           );

  $boundary = "====" . time() . "====";
  $mail{'content-type'} = "multipart/mixed; boundary=\"$boundary\"";
  $mail{smtp} = "$smtpserver";
  $message = encode_qp( "File Attached");
  $file = "$impdir/$impfile";
  print "$file\n";
  open (ATTACH,"<$file")  or die &err_check("Cannot Open file for emailing 
$impfile : $!\n");
  binmode ATTACH; undef $/;
  $mail{body} = encode_base64(<ATTACH>);
  close ATTACH;

  $boundary = '--'.$boundary;
  $mail{body} = <<END_OF_BODY;
  $boundary
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

$message
$boundary
Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name="$impfile"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="$impfile"
$mail{body}
$boundary--
END_OF_BODY
  sendmail(%mail) || print "Error: $Mail::Sendmail::error\n";
  }


Can anyone see anything wrong with this?

TIA

Scott
