Sending HTML emails with Attachments via SMTP

This code is basic, but works well.
LotusScript


Sub Initialize
	
	Dim pdfFilename As String
	pdfFilename = "sample.pdf"
	
	Dim pdfFilepath As String
	pdfFilepath = "D:\Lotus\"
	
	'Declare Variables
	Dim s As New NotesSession
	Dim db As NotesDatabase
	Set db = s.CurrentDatabase
	
	s.ConvertMIME = False 
	' Do not convert MIME to rich text  
	Dim stream As NotesStream
	Set stream = 	s.CreateStream
	
	Dim message As NotesDocument
	Set message = db.CreateDocument
	message.Form = "memo"
	Dim body As NotesMIMEEntity
	Set body = message.CreateMIMEEntity
	message.Subject = "Sample HTML email via MIME"
	'///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
	message.INetFrom = "GigaChef.com <support@gigachef.com>"
	message.From = "GigaChef.com <support@gigachef.com>"
	message.Submitter = "GigaChef.com <support@gigachef.com>"
	'///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
	message.SendTo = "recipient@domain.com"  
	Set stream = s.CreateStream()
	
 	'Open the HTML (Title doesn't matter since it doesn't appear anywhere)   
	Call stream.WriteText("<html><head><title>Sample HTML email via MIME</title>")
	
 	'BEGIN: Inline Stylesheet
	Call stream.WriteText (|
 <style type="text/css">
 .text, td, tr, p, br, body { COLOR: #666666; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: 12px;}

 	'END: Inline Stylesheet
	
	Call stream.WriteText ({</head>})
	Call stream.WriteText ({<body text="#666666" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0">})

	Set bodyChild = body.CreateChildEntity()
	Dim header As NotesMIMEHeader
	Dim host As String
	Set header = bodyChild.createHeader("Content-Type")
	Call header.setHeaderVal("multipart/mixed")
	
	Set header = bodyChild.createHeader("Content-Disposition")
	Call header.setHeaderVal("attachment; filename=" & pdfFilename) '01-2005.doc should be replaced with the file name of the file you need to attach
	
	Set header = bodyChild.createHeader("Content-ID")
	Call header.setHeaderVal(pdfFilename) 	'01-2005.doc should be replaced with the file name of the file you need to attach
	
	Set stream = s.CreateStream()
	If Not stream.Open(pdfFilepath & pdfFilename , "binary") Then
		Print "Open failed"
	End If
	If stream.Bytes = 0 Then
		Print "File has no content"
	End If
	Call bodyChild.SetContentFromBytes(stream, "application/pdf", ENC_IDENTITY_BINARY)
	
%REM
application/msword needs to match
 the file type that you are embedding. 
Examples:
image/gif
application/msword
application/pdf
application/zip
%END REM
	
	'Send the email
	Call message.Send (False)  
	s.ConvertMIME = True ' Restore conversion
	
End Sub
