Attach the specified file to the current message.
Syntax
object.AttachFile( FileName, [Options] )
Parameters
- FileName
- A string which specifies the name of the file to be attached to
the message. If the file is empty or does not exist, an error will
be returned by the control.
- Options
- An optional integer value which specifies how the file will be
attached to the message. If this argument is omitted and the file
is a text file, it will not be encoded; if the file is a binary
file, it will be base64 encoded. To override the default encoding
used, specify one of the following options:
| Value |
Constant |
Description |
| 0 |
mimeAttachDefault |
The file attachment encoding is based on the file content
type. Text files are not encoded, and binary files are encoded
using the standard base64 encoding algorithm. This is the
default option for file attachments. |
| 1 |
mimeAttachBase64 |
The file attachment is always encoded using the standard
base64 algorithm, even if the attached file is a plain text
file. |
| 2 |
mimeAttachUucode |
The file attachment is always encoded using the uuencode
algorithm, even if the attached file is a plain text file. |
Return Value
A value of zero is returned if the method succeeds.
Otherwise, a non-zero error code is returned which indicates the
cause of the failure.
Remarks
The AttachFile method attaches the specified file to the
current message. If the message already contains one or more file
attachments, then it is added to the end of the message. If the
message does not contain any attached files, then it is converted to
a multipart message and the file is appended to the message.
The AttachImage method can be used to attach an inline image
to the message.
