Hi,

How do you add an attachment to email in drupal 6? I have searched everywhere for a simple answer but they all seem to relate drupal 5?

Thanks for any help

Use Pear Mail & Mail_mime libraries

I finally after weeks of messing around figured out how to extend the authorcontact module for D6 so that will accept an attachment.

Tried using mimemail module, although it would send the mail the attachment did not arrive. Found this post that explains exactly how to do it using the pear mail libraries:

It was then simple enough to work out: use pear for an email with an attachment and drupal_mail() without one.
