I based64 encode my PDFs, build the e-mail and MIME envelopes for the text and PDF sections, write the entire email blob to a local file, and then use sendmail to send the email using the head inside the e-mail. That way, I can specify the disposition of the envelope contents as in-line or attachment. That's been working fine for years for electronic invoicing.
