JMail with attachments send binary data in email

[cgrudzinski]

Hello,

I have JMail working without attachments but now want to start using this feature. When using the .addattachment though the email received contains the binary data of the attachment - see example below.

Code Example:

Set JMail = Server.CreateObject("JMail.SMTPMail") 
 
JMail.ServerAddress = "mailhub.registeredsite.com"
Jmail.ContentType = "text/plain" 
 
 
JMail.Sender = "[e-mail]"
JMail.Subject = "Attachement Test"
 
 
JMail.AddRecipient "[e-mail]"
JMail.Body = "Testing email links"
JMail.Priority = 3
JMail.AddHeader "Originating-IP", Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR")
JMail.AddAttachment ("\\atl.hosting.int\storage\IPSWX0013ATL2\userIDNumber\www\testing.txt")
 
JMail.Execute

Email Example:
This is a multipart message in MIME format.
----NEXT_BM_0D8EA709985B46BB912D9180055D5931
Content-Type: text/plain;
charset=so-8859-1"

Hello cgrudzinski and daffbuzz,

Have either of you looked at this help page?

I think your problems may be with how you’re setting the path to your documents. I think with Jmail you need to set the physical path.

Here is another site that you can look at on how to do that.

I agree with CroCrew. Try using Server.MapPath - which takes a virtual path and translates it into a physical path.

JMail.AddAttachment ( Server.MapPath( "\your\path\to\doc.txt" ) )
