problem below:
I am trying to send an attachment file with the mcmail.mc file. So far, this
is what I have done:
I put a field "theAttachment" into the card. The script is from the button
"Send", with my addition clearly marked.
It does something, but it doesn't place it as an attachment, but as a part
of the body text.
# construct email header
put "" into mailraw
put "From: " fld "mailfrom" crlf after mailraw
put "Date: " mimedate() crlf after mailraw
put "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii" crlf after mailraw
You have to change the above line to something like:
put "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=" quote \
"TheMailBoundary" quote crlf after mailraw
put "MIME-Version: 1.0" crlf after mailraw
put "Message-Id: " the seconds "-" the ticks "@MetaCardSMTP" crlf
after mailraw
put "To: " fld "to" crlf after mailraw
if fld "cc" "" then
put "CC: " fld "cc" crlf after mailraw
end if
put "Subject: " fld "subject" crlf after mailraw
put crlf fld "body" after mailraw
Add the following here into the body:
put "--TheMailBoundary" crlf \
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii" crlf crlf after mailraw
You may continue with your normal text mail body.
And finally add the following for your attachment:
# the attachment header
put "--TheMailBoundary" crlf \
"Content-Type: application/base64; charset=us-ascii" crlf \
"Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=" quote \
theAttachmentName quote crlf \
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64" crlf crlf after mailraw
# the attachment base64 code
put base64Encode(theattachment) crlf after mailraw
# closing the email
put "--TheMailBoundary--" after mailraw
-- ** MY ADDITION
if fld "theAttachment" is not empty then
put fld "theAttachment" into theAttachmentName
Try
put url "binfile:" theAttachmentName into theattachment
put crlf "Content-Type: application/base64; name=" quote \
theAttachmentName quote after mailraw
put crlf crlf base64Encode(theattachment) after mailraw
I tried it. Still doesn't work. It does do something different, though (I'm
not sure exactly why...). It seems to encode the name, but not the file.
The point here is to create a multipart MIME mail. If you refuse to read RFC
document, you can just grab a sample source of email with attachment.
Note that used of static "TheMailBoundary" here wasn't a good idea, you
should change it to a random generated string.
I have tried the code, so be careful.
Hope this helps.

But thanks. Still working on it. Any other suggestions?
put "binfile:" theAttachmentName into theattachment
put crlf "Content-Type: application/base64; name=" quote
theattachment quote after mailraw
put crlf crlf base64Encode(url theAttachment) after mailraw
end if

# socket implementation, talking to smtp
smtpsend fld "smtpserver",fld "mailfrom",validEmailList,mailraw
end composemail

I sent the file (a MetaCard file) to myself. I copied and pasted the encoded
data in my email into a MC field. A button has the following script:
on mouseUp
ask file "What file to save to?"
put it into thefileName
put base64Decode(field "thebinfile") into URL thefileName
end mouseUp
But now, when I attempt to open the file (type into the message box "Answer
file "?"; open it), I get the message "stack was corrupted by a non-binary
file transfer"
-
So, any suggestions? I really *need* to be able to send file attachments
with this MCmail protocol. I am building an app that will generate a MC
stack, then email it to the appropriate person.
Thanks for your help,
Raymond
