You'll probably find it easier to send attachments using PHP Mailer or
the PEAR Mail class.

This is the body. Headers *do* matter; check them as well. Look at the
source code of the message in your favourite e-mail client and check that
the headers are right, the boundary markers are correct in both places, you
don't have empty lines before the body...
