Huh, Attachments?

Well, this is weird. I have the following code in a plugin;

Code:
		my $send_message = "message here"; 

		require GT::Mail; 
        GT::Mail->send ( 
                            to       => $PersonEmail1, 
                            from     => $TheirEmail, 
                            subject  => "$Subject", 
                            msg      => "$send_message", 
                            smtp     => $CFG->{db_smtp_server}, 
                            sendmail => $CFG->{db_mail_path}, 
							type     => 'html' 
                        ) or return Links::language ('VAL_CANTEMAIL', $GT::Mail::error);

For some reason, its sending the email, but the message is not being shown...and 2 mangled attachments (*.dat) are attached to the email. Anyone see/know why? Is it a bug in Links SQL, or is there something I'm missing? Unsure

Cheers

Hi Andy,

Why are you putting quotes around your variables?

subject => $Subject,
msg => $send_message,

is what I do, and works fine.

OMG..how stupid do I feel now! Of couse its text/html .... I tried looking for the docs on it in the Plugin development stuff, but couldn't seem to find the part about sending HTML emails. I knew it was possible though, cos I did it literally a couple of months ago Tongue

If you don't know the mime type of something look in GT/MIMETypes.pm from about line 210 onwards.

The stupid thing was, I did know it...I don't really know why I couldn't remember it though! Maybe I've been working too hard...I've been at it since 7am, and its almost 6:30pm now Unsure
