Hi,

I'm trying to send an attachment via email using the following function,
but it keeps coming through damaged.  I am having no trouble emailing the
same attachment using OutLook.  Is there something wrong with the function
I'm using?  The attachment shows up and I'm not getting any errors, but it
just won't open up in Acrobat.

Thanks,
Ron

$mail_attached;

           return mail($email_address,$subject,$mail_content,"From:

       } else

           return mail($email_address,$subject,$msg,"From: ".$email_from);
       }
}

?>

I would suggest using a known good solution, such as PEAR's Mail_MIME 
package.
