Email standard structure, + attachment?

Ive been having a problem for a while now. Ive been trying diff scripts for a mailform that has an attachment options, and I have also messed around with the code. BUT, different mailclients interpret the structure differently and some of them spits out girbish for the attachments, depending on the script and its structure, each client had a problem at some point with a script, I could not get one script to work with them all.

As far as I understand, the MIME boundaries or the encoding are understood diff by the clients. So does someone know of a standard structure that all the clients will understand, so that the mail will know of the attachment ect.

Thanx

I'm using phpmailer ( http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net ) and haven't had problems with mail-clients interpreting either HTML or attachments incorrectly.
