How Can I send a MIME attachment so that M$ will know it's an attachment ?

[Aharon Schkolnik]

Hi. I'm  trying to send a jpg file to someone using M$ software. I
want M$ to realize that it is an attachment. I tried using tm, but M$
doesn't understand.

Attachments from M$ have lines like:

--=====================_884712834==_
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Blah Blah Blah.



--=====================_884712834==_
Content-Type: image/jpeg; name="Pic.jpg";
 x-mac-type="4A504547"; x-mac-creator="4A565752"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="Pic.jpg"

ooAKKKKACiiigAooooAKKKKACiiigAooooAKKKKACiiigD//2Q==
--=====================_884712834==_--



The files generated by gnus with tm don't have anything like:

--=====================_884712834==_

Can I force gnus to act like M$ ?

If not, is there some recommended way to send stuff to M$ ?

Add this to TM setup and it should do it. I Have these kind of definitions
in tm-edit-load-hook

jari


  (push
   '("\\.jpg" 
     "image"    "jpg" nil
     "base64"
     "attachment"       (("filename" . file))
     )
   mime-file-types)

Tried it. Didn't help. M$ still doesn't recognize the  attachment.
Any other ideas ?
