Missing bodies with email attachments

[Anon]

I'm attempting to send an email created through a PHP script with an attachment. When the message comes through, the attachment is there but the text I placed in the body of the message (via the third argument of the mail() function) is missing. Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

The code might help 🙂

function prepAttachment($content){
$attach = array("name"=>"linksmaster.txt", "content"=>stripslashes($content), "type"=> "/");
return $attach;
}

function makeAttachmentHeaders($attachment){
	$headers = "Content-Type: " . $attachment['type'];
	$headers .= "; name=\"" . $attachment['name'] . "\"";
	$headers .= "\r\n";
	$headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n";
	$headers .= "\r\n";
	$headers .= chunk_split(base64_encode($attachment['content']));
	$headers .= "\r\n";
	return $headers;
}

$mailtext = "Hello World";
$address = $vars['email'];
$subject = "attachment test";
$the_attachment = prepAttachment($output_string);
$the_headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$the_headers .= makeAttachmentHeaders($the_attachment);
mail($address,$subject,$mailtext,$the_headers);

did you ever find out what the problem was?
I am trying to send an upload form file as an email attachment in word doc format but with no success so far - maybe your problem might shed some light.

Thanks

for sending a doc file, aprently there is a cap on the size of the file it will send.
