I am using Wordpress 2.2 and wp-db-backup 2.1.1 on Windows Server 2003 with IIS and am using wpPHPMailer to send my mail via SMTP. The problem is that there must be something wrong with the MIME as Gmail is unable to show the email correct.

Let me give you an example:

"This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

--==WPBACKUP-BY-SKIPPY-5c8ce2e51419ffee27ccdbc034fa4c5b
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Attached to this email is
wordpress_wp_20070527_678.sql.gz
Size:217 kilobytes

--==WPBACKUP-BY-SKIPPY-5c8ce2e51419ffee27ccdbc034fa4c5b
Content-Type: application/octet-stream;
name="wordpress_wp_20070527_678.sql.gz"
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="wordpress_wp_20070527_678.sql.gz"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

Well, there is not any attachment as you can see :) If I send the backup to another email (using SquirrelMail version 1.4.9a software) I receive this:
“Attached to this email is
wordpress_wp_20070527_683.sql.gz
Size:217 kilobytes”
And yes, there is an attachment there. So what is wrong, is it something with wp-db-backup or shall I focus over to wpPHPMailer for a solution?
