Ideally, the /etc/mime.types mapping will take care of things
automatically. But this is a last-ditch opportunity to get it
right. You can always
M-x grep RET plain /etc/mime.types RET
(or jpg, or jpeg, or pdf, or whatever) to verify the correct form. Or
put it in a function and bind it to a key so you don't have to remember the
name of the file.
OTOH, if you send it out wrong, I now know how to open the attachment
correctly using Eric's other solution - the problem has almost vanished
and life is good...
