Description
when I submit an application for a job posting, and include a .pdf resume, there are no errors for the submission, yet when I get an email saying that someone has applied for the position, the email that I receive (from the site) is nothing but crazy code after the cover letter information. there is no attachment to the email. I currently have mime mail installed, and when I disable it, I get no email at all. Please help!

and now i am receiving a blank email

What you've attached looks like a plain-text email message with an encoded payload (a.k.a. attachment). Did you cut-and-paste this from your email client or receive this exact file as an attachment? What email client are you using?
When you say 'no errors' do you mean on-screen at time of submission or listed in the system logs?
What other non-core modules do you have installed and loaded?

I am using mime mail. The attachment is the text that I copied from the body of the response. mime mail is the only email module that I am using

You need to narrow down whether this is related to your hosting/client environment or interaction with Mime Mail. I suggest you start with eliminating the latter as a variable since that's probably quick and easy. Specifically, test without using Mime Mail at all by completely uninstalling it and starting with only Job Posting. If it works, add it back and test again. If it doesn't work using only a brand new Job Posting install then we can look at all the other possibilities that have to do with your hosting environment and/or mail client, etc, or even the module itself.

it seems that what I needed to do was in the Mime Mail config. I just deselected the "Use mime mail for all messages" checkbox. So, what does that mean? Do you suppose MimeMail is malfunctioning or is this just a problem with the job module?

As to you first question: I'm guessing it means that module takes over ALL mail processing from Drupal (including what job posting would be doing) -- doesn't seem like a good thing to me.
I can't answer your second question without diving into the module code for Mime Mail and finding out what it is they're doing vis-a-vis mail sending. I may just do that some rainy Sunday when I have some free time...
Also, it looks like Mime Mail does not have an official release for 6.x but only a 'beta' dev version. Perhaps it would be worth it to report the issue with them as well. I don't know the dev(s) but maybe they could use the information moving forward to an official release.
Glad that it's working now and thanks for reporting back your findings so it can help others.

thank you. I reported it to the MimeMail issue cue.
