Hi guys i have been working on this mime email with pdf invoice attached for a while, sooo much trouble with it, and i always seem to have trouble with mime emails with attachments.

I have it working in Thunderbird (comes with attachment perfect) but in windows mail the pdf attachment comes thru as a .txt which means all the content in garble

the mail setup is as follows and below is the output txt file in windows mail (i have omited about 10000 lines of garble in the middle )

also if anyone knows of a good written explaination of mime headers, a link would be awesome, every thing i read is soooo different

Thanx in advance

$attachment = chunk_split(base64_encode($stream));
$to  = $pf['email'];
$subject = 'Your Invoice';

$random_hash = md5(date('r', time()));
$headers  = "From: ".SITE_NOREPLY." \r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: ".SITE_EMAIL." \r\n";
$headers .= "\r\nContent-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"PHP-mixed-".$random_hash."\"";


$message = "
--PHP-mixed-". $random_hash ." 
Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=\"PHP-alt-". $random_hash ."\"

--PHP-alt-". $random_hash ." 
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
