MIME attachments and SMTP

You probaly need to check RFC 1521 -> MIME Part One
(http://www.ietf.org/rfc). I recently wrote some code (C++ though) based on
the information contained in this document. It also helped to send myself
emails with attachments, and then examine the 'raw' documents with a text
editor rather than viewing them within the email client. I would assume that
the email client you use will let you browse the messages you receive
without interpretation.

I hope this helps
