Without trying your code, I can only guess.  However, a couple of questions:

1. Why are you trying to put your content in the header?  That should go 
in the body.

2. Why are you using \r\n\r\n multiple times in your header?  This will 
insert a blank line, which identifies the beginning of the data.

3. Have you tried looking at the source of the email when it's received, 
and compared it to a working attachment, i.e. from thunderbird?  This is 
the easiest way to see what's not correct.
