[Phpmailer-general] AddStringAttachment()'s not getting decoded from base64 by email clients

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 454-5900

I'm using AddStringAttachment($filedata, $filename, "base64",
$mimetype ) to pull a file thats already in base64 and attach it to
the emails im sending. The file gets sent and the headers look correct
to me, but for some reason email clients can't decode it. AOL, Gmail,
and Outlook all see the file but send it to me as base64 data rather
than decoding it.

Below is an example email with a short file attached. (I just noticed
my autolinker is running on the plain text version...and thinks its
truncating email addresses.)

Could anybody please help me figure out whats happening here and more
importantly, how to fix it?

I'm using SMTP if it makes a difference.

Thanks in advance!
