I haven't used Jmeter, but IMHO, a load testing tool should be able to
accept the form data in a page request and know what to do with it
(without the need to know and hard-code the contents of that data).
The SM code is designed to work this way for a number of good reasons,
and sends the client enough information to be able to properly send
the mail via a simple form submit. I'm surprised that an Apache tool
has to work at such a primitive level. Are you sure there's not a
better way to use the tool to accomplish your needs?

For testing only, you could go into src/compose.php (assuming you are
using version 1.4.18SVN, which should be mostly the same as 1.4.17)
and find line 930:
$localfilename = GenerateRandomString(32, '', 7);
Change this so it sets the name to some static string.
$localfilename = 'attachment_file_for_testing_only';
I haven't tested this, so there could be some issue with this, but you
can take it from there.
