Thanks. It is true that the current output from the tool is corrupt mime multi-part, and we need to do something about it. I however have to wonder if it even makes sense for --cover to pay attention to --attach and produce the cover template that has "BLURB HERE" etc. in a multi-part format. Shouldn't we be making a simple plain text file instead?
I agree that multipart/mixed is not a useful content-type for only one plain text part. I have a patch to add the trailing boundary, but I think you make a good argument that perhaps omitting the entire multipart portion would be better. I'll have to work on this after work, so expect a patch later today. -- brian m. carlson: Houston, Texas, US OpenPGP: https://keybase.io/bk2204
