Thanks to all for the suggestions! I've tried
"application/octet-stream", putting the attachment very last, and
zipping it, and so far only zipping the attachment has worked -- in all
other cases it has failed silently, or with a very unhelpful error
message. So that's a solution found, anyway! Still be nice to know
what's really going on, though...

Thanks again,
Eric
