Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: Instructions on how to send emails from your package

I'm using acs-mail to send multipart emails. I've gotten it to work with PG (the above mention on my older 5x installation needed "date" type replaced with timestamptz for parameter types in the actual function definition).

However the proc acs_mail_base64_encode is using homegrown uuencoding, which works fine for word files, but it corrupts zip and jpegs for me. Doh! After some investigating, ns_uuencode doesn't return the expected result on my system either.

http://www.panoptic.com/wiki/aolserver/923 mentions the base64 package for tcllib. Is this the best bet to fix this problem? Anyone have experience with dealing with uuencoding under AOLserver that has some advice?

Thanks,
