I'm trying to use the Windmail header 'Attach' to add an attachment to an email that the my Perl Script is generating.
Here are the relevant code snippets:
use Win32::ODBC;
use CGI qw(:standard);
use CGI::Carp qw/fatalsToBrowser/;
$mailsubject = "Subject: ".$Form{'subject'};
$attachment = "Attach: ".$Form{'attachment'};
open MAIL, "|c:/windmail/windmail -t";
print MAIL "To:$Email\@ybs.co.uk\n";
print MAIL "From:Internal_Comms\@ybs.co.uk\n";
print MAIL "Subject:".$mailsubject." \n\n";
print MAIL "Attach:".$attachment."\n\n";
print MAIL "\n\n";
print MAIL $mailtext;
close MAIL;
The variables are being read from a web-form, but essentially are just text:
$email = 'me'
$mailsubject = 'Any text'
$attachment = 'T:\anything.pdf'
$mailtext = 'some text'
What it actually sends is this:
To: me
From: Internal_Comms
Subject: Any text
Message body:
T:\Anything.pdf
Some text
When the email arrives in my inbox, it has the little attachment icon against it, but when I open the email there actually is no attachment. What gives?
Please note I cannot use MIME::Lite or some such, it's Windmail or bust for me! :-(
