I'm trying to make an email that contains an attachment, so far the script is generating this:

code:
From: me@localhost

Subject: File!

MIME-Version: 1.0

Content-Type: multipart/mixed boundary="EOFEOFEOF"



You need to use a MIME complient email viewer to see this email.

--EOFEOFEOF

Content-Type: text/plain



Message body.

--EOFEOFEOF

Content-type: image/png

Content-transfer-encoding: base64

Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="1253459800-Icon.png"

gg==


--EOFEOFEOF--

(Line endings are CRLF, so are looking like two line breaks)
I use Net::SMTP (Ruby) to send it to me, and I receive an email with no body, and an attachment called "noname". When I view the attachment, I see:
code:
Message body.
--EOFEOFEOF
Content-type: image/png
Content-transfer-encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="1253459800-Icon.png"

Does anyone know what the problem here is, it looks fine to me (going off wikipedia's MIME article)?

You appear to be missing a semicolon after "multipart/mixed".

No problem. The "another pair of eyes" effect is frequently useful.
