SMTP and application/pdf Content-Type
I am trying to send an email with a PDF attachment using SMTP calls. I have successfully done this sending text file attachments but now I need to send a PDF file attachment. Below is the piece of the code I am having trouble with. I think I am missing something but not sure what. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
sSend = ""
sSend = sSend & "From: Me" & Chr(13) & Chr(10)
sSend = sSend & "To: " & SendTo & Chr(13) & Chr(10)
sSend = sSend & "Subject: " & Subject & Chr(13) & Chr(10)
sSend = sSend & "MIME-Version: 1.0" & Chr(13) & Chr(10)
sSend = sSend & "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;" & Chr(13) & Chr(10)
sSend = sSend & " boundary=testboundry" & Chr(13) & Chr(10)
sSend = sSend & Chr(13) & Chr(10)
sSend = sSend & "--testboundry" & Chr(13) & Chr(10)
sSend = sSend & "Content-Type: text/html" & Chr(13) & Chr(10)
sSend = sSend & Chr(13) & Chr(10)
sSend = sSend & Message & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & Chr(13) & Chr(10)
sSend = sSend & "--testboundry" & Chr(13) & Chr(10)
sSend = sSend & "Content-Type: application/pdf; name=""Test.pdf"";" & Chr(13) & Chr(10)
sSend = sSend & "Content-Transfer-Encoding
sSend = sSend & "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=""Test.pdf"";" & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & Chr(13) & Chr(10)

Same results, I get a 64 byte file attachment which Acrobat Reader won't open. I think I need to some how read the file but since it isn't a text file, I am not sure how that part should work.

I am just going to change the file I am generating from a PDF file to an RTF so I can use my existing code that was working for text files. I am out of time to research this anymore. Thank you for all your help.
