I'm using DIME but if you must use MIME and (apparently) SOAP; you might
want to check this link?

Dave/Arthur,
Thanks very much for your help - I feel as though I'm finally getting
somewhere :)
However, Now I've encoded my SOAP message and attachment into MIME,
how do I use CDO to send it back to my client using HTTP ?
All CDO seems to do is save it to a directory where the email server
can pick it up and do its stuff with it ?
I guess this is one of the things that .NET web services does under
the covers ? what concerns me, is at the stage when I have built the
MIME message I do not know what to do with it. I don't think I can put
it back into the web service pipeline - If I can please do tell me how
?

many thanks for your help
simon.

Simon,

The following article should answer all your questions:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/02/03/WebMethods/de....

It contains information about Base64 encoding, and MIME content both inside
and outside the SOAP envelope (note that with the W3C Note, the MIME content
should be outside the SOAP envelope; you should check with your client to
see if they want you to support the W3C Note on SOAP attachments
[pre-DIME]). It also has code samples to get you started.
