Re^3: Attachments with NET::SMTP

You can set up your web script in that way, but it seems an awfully roundabout and wasteful way to transfer files. Why don't you just have the user upload the file to the server where you can access it after receiving the email (you could put the file path into the generated email)? Transferring files via email has a few problematic aspects, most ISPs these days block certain attachment file types for example, so why do it unneccessarily?
