Syntax
object.AttachFile( FileName,

| Value |
Description |
| mailAttachDefault |
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 algorithm. This is the default option
for file attachments. |
| mailAttachBase64 |
The file attachment is always encoded using the standard
base64 algorithm, even if the attached file is a plain text
file. |
| mailAttachUucode |
The file attachment is always encoded using the standard
uuencode algorithm, even if the attached file is a plain text
file. |
| mailAttachQuoted |
The file attachment is always encoded using quoted-printable
encoding. Note that this encoding method is only recommended for
text content, typically either as HTML or RTF. |
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.
