How to send windows attachment using senmail

[Roger Oberholtzer]

Sendmail does not really know about attachments in the sense you are
describing. They are placed in the mail message by your email composition
program (outlook, squirrel mail, nome brew). Sendmail in no way should be
looking at files in your system to get attachments. Your program talks on
the sendmail tcp port and provides everything (headers like From. To:, the
message itself, and any attachments, encoded however your mail program
decided. Sendmail does not rean files and MIME encode them in messages.
