Using SmtpClient to send a file attachment

asp.net, c#

Solution

Add a ContentType to your attachment.

System.Net.Mime.ContentType contentType = new System.Net.Mime.ContentType();
contentType.MediaType = System.Net.Mime.MediaTypeNames.Application.Octet;
contentType.Name = "test.docx";
msg.Attachments.Add(new Attachment("I:/files/test.docx", contentType));
...

Problem

I am using the `SmtpClient` class to send mail and also attach files. Everything seems to work fine, except that the filename in the email attachment says `filestest.docx` instead of `test.docx`. It is by default appending the folder name the file is located under. I would like to see only the actual file name. ``` msg.Attachments.Add(new Attachment("I:/files/test.docx")); ``` Any ideas?
