.dat file attachments

.dat file attachments

I'm using Universal Email and the file is sending but the attachments are all being delivered as .dat files instead of .pdf files.

This sends unopenable .dat files:

$WA_MailObject = WAUE_AddAttachment($WA_MailObject,"".$row_rsForms["attach_frm"] ."");

where $row_rsForms["attach_frm"] is a PDF file from the same directory level as the script that calls the Universal Email function. (i.e forms/somefile.pdf)

This sends no attachments:

$WA_MailObject = WAUE_AddAttachment($WA_MailObject,"/home/xxxx/public_html/PDF/".$row_rsForms["attach_frm"] ."");

Using Universal Email 3.0.7

That didn't seem to make any difference. The .pdf files are still being sent as .dat files

Any other suggestions?
