You need to add two new headers (MIME-Version and Content-Type) and you 
will need to encode the attached file as base-64 to include it into the 
body of your email. Notice the boundary string in the Content-Type 
header (it can be anything you want), and how it is prefixed with "--" 
when referenced in the body of the email, and how the last reference to 
the boundary (after the attachment) also has a suffix of '--' as well 
as the prefix. See an example below:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From: mrstrong at mrmen.com
Subject: Zope
To: basil at faulty.com
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="_===705645===_"

This is a multi-part MIME message

- --_===705645===_
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1"; format="flowed"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The Body Email Message

- --_===705645===_
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="blah.html"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

Pgo8L2Rpdj4KCjxkdG1sLXZhciBwcm9qZWN0X2h0bWxfZm9vdGVyPgo8L2JvZHk+

- --_===705645===_--

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hope this helps, of course you will need to add in the TAL statements 
at the appropriate points (for boundary, filename, Content-Type above). 
And I'll leave you to figure out how to encode your file as base-64 ;-)

Regards,

Gus
