Thanks. It is true that the current output from the tool is corrupt mime multi-part, and we need to do something about it. I however have to wonder if it even makes sense for --cover to pay attention to --attach and produce the cover template that has "BLURB HERE" etc. in a multi-part format. Shouldn't we be making a simple plain text file instead?
