Vance Unruh <vun...@earthlink.net> added the comment: Here's code that attaches the pdf file the two different ways. Both attachments are OK when I read the mail on OSX, but one is corrupt when read with Windows Mail on Vista. I wasn't sure what to do with the actual sending of the mail to the server. You'll have to change the code to use your account or something.
