Parameters

buffer
A byte array that contains the data to be attached to the message.
length
An integer value which specifies the maximum number of bytes top copy from the buffer. This value cannot be larger than the size of the buffer specified by the caller.
contentName
An string argument which specifies a name for the data being attached to the message. This typically is used as a file name by the mail client to store the data in. Note that if a file name is specified with a path, only the base file name will be used.
contentType
An string argument which specifies the type of data being attached. The value must be a valid MIME content type. If the buffer contains only text characters, then the content type will be specified as text/plain. If the buffer contains binary data, then the content type will be specified as application/octet-stream, which is appropriate for any type of data.
