Hello,

I am trying to send a file attachment (x.pps) using the mimemail module, but I don't really know why isnt it working. Here is my code:

$att[]=array(
 'filepath' => '/home/loftyf01/public_html/newsletter/x.pps',
 'filemime' => 'application/vnd.ms-powerpoint',
);
mimemail($from, $mail, $subject, $body, FALSE, $headers = array(), $text = NULL, $att );

this isnt working either: (I've placed the file in sites/default/files/hirlevel/ too, so thats not the error I guess)

$att[0]=array(
'filepath' => file_directory_path().'/newsletter/x.pps',
'filemime' => 'application/vnd.ms-powerpoint',
);

Whats wrong with this? Should the path be relative or absolute? I've tried with both but none of them worked so far.
Thanks in advance.

The path should be a relative Drupal path.

In your case I think:


$att[] = array(
  'filepath' => 'newsletter/x.pps',
  'filemime' => 'application/vnd.ms-powerpoint',
);

If you really need absolute paths you may take a loot at the patch in #760080: Attachments specified with absolute local paths are not added.

Shouldn't you add the 'list' => 1 key to the attachment table ?

Not necessary, since there was a modification to take 'list' into account only if it is set.

Now I'm closing this issue, since there was some improvement in sending attachments.
