I looked at this somewhat quickly.
First I would start with just the First and Last name, See if you can make that work then continue to build it. Make it simple...
and you might have to many $header info. in your php code.
and who are you $mailto ???

Hi all, I have a problem with mail with attachments. To send e-mail with attachments from a form, I use Setec Astronomy's libmail class (v 1.4) (available here http://www.phpclasses.org/) Everything is ok but if I use a specific e-mail address (say address X) in the field To, the e-mail arrives without attachments. (even if I use two addresses for field To, of which one is address X, the mail to address X arrives without attachments,...

Hi I try to grab the checked files from HTML page and then send those PDF files as attachments. It can just send email, there are no PDF files attached. Can anybody point out my error? My idea is: When people check the check boxes in HTML page for the PDF files, it will transfer the files' name to ASP page. Then, it will attach it in the email.

Hi all, My question is quite simple. It´s about JavaMail API 1.3 and how it handles file attachments. I've been googling around, but without luck. Well, question is: How exactly does it handle attachments? Consider a MultipartMessage with a 50MB attachment file. As I create the message and pass the file's InputStream to it, does it load all of the binary data into memory? Or is the InputStream accessed only when

I'm having some trouble getting attachments right for all recipients, and it seems like Apple's mail.app is the pickiest client at the moment. It doesn't handle attachments that both Thunderbird and Outlook find perfectly acceptable.

Attached example CPP files makes it easier to post code and extract code from posts.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
