Sending none txt attachments [resolved]

[LucaUWF]

I'm currently able to send email attachments of any standard type (JPG, TXT etc).

However, I now want to send my own file types that are basically encrypted txt files.

When I attach these though even though my filename is say:

myfile.hibt

It is still recieved as: myfile.txt

I've tried changing the Content Type around, but I've had no success.

Any help or hints are greatly appreciated.

Thanks

We'd probably have to see the code you're using before we can point out the problem.

[phpman]

in order to do that you would have to make you own mime type up, being how that is almost impossible you can't. just have it as text, but like hobo said, we need to see the code. more than likely you messed up the extension

wait that would mean you would have to reply to your own post :rolleyes:

Hmm... should have resolved this, sorry.

I figured it out, just a matter of sending a type that doesn't hint to the content. No biggy really. :)

Yeah, it would help next time. People do tend to answer threads and try to help.
