You're right. There was no empty line after the Content-Type:


--------14506F0F080F4D6511158082800B418B1
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="test.txt"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Type: Text/Plain


--------14506F0F080F4D6511158082800B418B1
Content-Disposition: inline
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Type: Text/Plain

Do the contents of email attachment always appear in the headers? Why  
are the contents of "test.txt" not showing up above the second boundary?

If their not showing up is normal, is there a way to force the MUA/ 
MTA (e.g. sendmail) to include them?

Why does the last boundary have two dashes at the end? Is this some  
kind of bug?


Many thanks.
