Re: About old msg on attachements using PHP mail function

I believe you will need to stuff the body into the mime-headers like another attachment and have the body be empty... Even that *may* not work... Another option is to bypass the mail() function entirely and just fsockopen to port 25 and fread/fwrite the right stuff to talk to SMTP. It ain't rocket science -- I've even managed to do it for regular mail in higher volume than mail() can handle. Disclaimer: I'd find it easier to snag somebody else's attachment class, and I hate classes in PHP... You could just look at their source and see how they do it. -- WARNING richard@zend.com address is an endangered species -- Use ceo@l-i-e.com Wanna help me out? Like Music?
