The problem is with the web-based e-mail server.&nbsp;&nbsp;The CGI programs on the web server should deal with HTML formatted e-mail (for want of a better term...)&nbsp;&nbsp;Your local e-mail server should not be doing any reformatting of any e-mail content.&nbsp;&nbsp;All that your (in fact, any) mail server should be doing is passing on a text message to another e-mail server somewhere else.&nbsp;&nbsp;Leave the message formatting to the mail client (ie, Outlook Express), and the display formatting to the remote web-mail server (ie, Hotmail). <p> <br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br>--<br>

you have to encode the attachment ... i found a good example on sendmails site i think ( could be it was just a general internet search actually) but you encode the file (mimencode it i think) and then pipe it in with your message ...
