Hi All,

Im trying to do a form where users can submit their resume (attach a  
file) to the form submission.

When I use the form, it works, but the attachment does not get sent  
and I get what looks to be a memory address or something like that?.  
Is this a bug in the mailer extension? The resulting email I received  
as well as my mailer page code is below:
