I have actually done several projects with different kinds or e-mailing
features.
In a nutshell, you need the appropriate MIME headers for the type of mail,
and sections of body divided by MIME Boundaries. (You also need to encode
any files you are sending as attachments. Check the base64_encode function
at php.net for this)
RFC1341 and the revised version: RFC1521 give you all the specifics you need
to do this in almost any situation.
I would suggest skimming through 1521, paying special attention to the
section on
Multipart/Mixed (as that is what you would usually use for an e-mail with
attachments)
I would also suggest sending yourself a couple of e-mails with attachments,
and then
telneting to your mail server and viewing them there. Doing this has
probably helped
more more than anything when working on a complex mail program. Don't
reinvent
the wheel, see how the other guys made theirs =P
If you have any specific questions let me know.
