I've modified Benjamin Trott's STAMP script to send HTML form submissions as FDF files, using the PDF::FDF::Simple module. (This after failed attempts to install Adobe's FDF Toolkit.) But I want to send the FDF data as an encrypted attachment.

This MIME::Lite object works fine for sending the unencrypted message: 

my $body = $fdf->_fdf_header;
  foreach (sort keys %{$fdf->content}) {
  $body .= sprintf ($fdf->_fdf_field_formatstr,
             $_,
             $fdf->_quote($fdf->content->{$_}));
  }
  $body .=$fdf->_fdf_footer;

my $msg = MIME::Lite->new(
                 From    =>$cfg->Email,
                 To      =>$cfg->To,
                 Subject =>$cfg->Subject,
         Filename => 'test.fdf',
                 Type    =>'application/vnd.fdf',
                 Encoding => 'binary',
        Data => $body;
        Disposition => 'attachment'
                 );

Then I tried this:

my $msg = MIME::Lite->new(
                 From    =>$cfg->Email,
                 To      =>$cfg->To,
                 Subject =>$cfg->Subject,
         Filename => 'test.pgp',
                 Type    =>'application/pgp-encrypted',
                 Encoding => 'binary',
        Data => $body_encrypted,
        Disposition => 'attachment'
                 );

This works, except in MS Outlook 2000 I have to save the attachment and type in the ".fdf" suffix. I was hoping to automate the process, so that I could just click on the attachment, enter my PGP password, and open the FDF file automatically. Any suggestions would be great.
