Defined in content

<attachment/> or <attachment></attachment>

This tag/subcontainer is designed for adding attachments to the mail.

There are two different kinds of attachments; file and inline. File attachments require the file attribute while inline attachments are written inline. Inline attachments can for instance be a text or a binary (e.g. output from a database).

<email from="foo@bar.com" to="johny@pub.com|pity@bufet.com|ely@rest.com" separator="|" charset="iso-8859-2" server="mailhub.anywhere.org"> <header name="X-foo-header" value="one two three" /> <header name="Importance">Normal</header> <header name="X-MSMail-Priority" value="Normal" /> This is the contents. <attachment file="/images/hello.gif" /> <attachment file="/excel/p_123.xls" name="partners.xls" /> <attachment name="partners.txt" > company1 1.2345 abc company2 2.345 ix company8 3.4567 az </attachment> </email>

Attributes

file

file=path

The path to the file in the virtual filesystem. If this attribute is omitted it is assumed that the attachment is a text attachment.

name

name=filename

The filename. When sending a file attachment this name is what the reciever will see in his/hers list of attachment, not the original filename. If omitted, the original name will be used. This attribute is required when sending inline text or binary attachments.

disposition

The MIME content-disposition to use for the attachment. The default disposition is "attachment".

cid

cid=Content-ID

The content-id to use for the attachment. The default id is "nocid".
