problem with mult-part mime headers

[espresso]

I have been trying to send a multi-part mime message from within a
java program. Unfortunately, the mime headers never get parsed. I've
tried it using both linux and Windows, with sendmail and iis
respectively. I've also sent to a number of email clients--all return
something similiar to what I got from squirrel mail below:

Return-Path: <gregp...@msn.com>

--sfgreg_2004

This is a test.

--sfgreg_2004

Content-Disposition: attachment;

Can anyone tell from this what the problem might be?

Thanks

That should be a SINGLE header (with a separating ';' between).

at least one thing ...
boundary is a Content-Type field parameter ie it should be on the same line,
separated by semicolon something like

Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=sfgreg_2004
