I tried to use a PHP class to send emails with attachments from my Website, but I failed miserably. Here is the HTML test page that I wrote:
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Automatic Mail Attachment Sending Test</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
This is just a page for testing the automatic sending of mail attachments after a person has filled out a form asking for information on a Brainstorming Workshop.

Class mime_mail
Original implementation by Sascha Schumann <sascha@schumann.cx>
Modified by Tobias Ratschiller <tobias@dnet.it>:
- General code clean-up
- separate body- and from-property
- killed some mostly un-necessary stuff

class mime_mail
{
var $parts;
var $to;
var $from;
var $headers;
var $subject;
var $body;

Build message parts of an multipart mail

Please help/correct me! Thanks!
