Answer 1

After struggling for a while with badly formatted attachments, this is the code I used:

$email = new PHPMailer();
$email->From      = 'from@somedomain.com';
$email->FromName  = 'FromName';
$email->Subject   = 'Subject';
$email->Body      = 'Body';
$email->AddAddress( 'to@somedomain.com' );
$email->AddAttachment( "/path/to/filename.ext" , "filename.ext", 'base64', 'application/octet-stream' );
$email->Send();
