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
