How to send windows attachment using senmail

[ronnie gauthier]

Copy the content from what? an html page? an email message?
Your problem might be end of line characters(\LF) coming from windows if its
email or text file?

Attachemts using a script can be a pain. If it's Perl I can help, PHP - yoyo.
