I try to send an email with an attachment. I could be able to send the  
Attachment. But it was an empty one . What could be the problem . Here  
is the code that i have used . Please help me to solve this problem .

def  
send\_application(company\_name,your\_name,your\_email,subject,message,cv)  
@subject=subject  
@recipients=your\_name+"\<"+your\_email+"\>"  
@from=your\_email  
@body[‘title’]=subject  
@body[‘email’]=@from  
@body[‘message’]=message
