Without having tested it I see a few possibilities:

1) It probably should be 'Content-disposition' instead of 'disposition', see MIME::Lite

2) You may have a "defective" mail reader, see the following comment in MIME::Lite:

Note: there are reports of brain-dead MUAs out there that do the wrong thing if you provide the content-disposition. If your attachments keep showing up inline or vice-versa, try scrubbing this attribute.

3) Maybe your text is in utf8 format and you need to give that information with the 'Content-transfer-encoding' MIME header

Generally you could compare a normal email with attachement to an email you received from your script and check what is different. All self-respecting mail readers allow you to view an email as unrendered source if you ask nicely ;-)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
