Hi,

It's really easy, the most difficult part is to send a file attached.

Take a look a the main function 'deliverMessage'. I forgot to tell you need to add the Message framework.

The messageBody is a NSAttributedString you just need to cast your NSMutableString or init the AttributtedString with it.



+ (BOOL)deliverMessage: (NSAttributedString *)messageBody headers: (NSDictionary *)messageHeaders format: (NSString *)messageFormat protocol: (NSString *)deliveryProtocol;
    //
    // messageBody is the actual contents of the message.  If messageFormat is NSASCIIMailFormat,
    //    any rich text or attachments in messageBody will be lost
    //
    // messageHeaders contains all of the values that will appear in the message header,
    //    for example, "To", "From", "Subject", etc.  If the value is an array, the elements
    //    in the array will converted to a comma seperated list of values in the message header
    //
    // messageFormat can be either NSASCIIMailFormat or NSMIMEMailFormat
    //
    // deliveryProtocol can be NSSMTPDeliveryProtocol
    //  or nil to use the platform's default deliveryProtocol (this is the preferred choice).
    //

Regards,
Tackel
