No. "base64" works just fine. I wrote the code you posted some time ago, but
it's now an oldie ;-)
I think the main issue was using "multipart/alternative" instead of
"multipart/related" (supported by most of email clients).
Try this instead:
############################################
set tofield to "email@hidden"
set fromfield to "email@hidden"
set smtpServer to "smtp.bar.net"
--> fill the three following ones if needed, or delete them
set username to "bar"
set |password| to "coffee"
set authentication to auto
set theSubject to "Test!"
set theBody to "Hello, Dolly..."
set thePDF to (choose file with prompt "Choose a PDF file...")
set filename to name of (info for thePDF)
set base64attachment to ¬
(do shell script "openssl base64 < " & quoted form of POSIX path of thePDF)
set mimebound1 to mime bound
set mimebound2 to mime bound
set rawSource to "Date: " & (mail date) & return & ¬
"To: " & (encode email address tofield) & return & ¬
"From: " & (encode email address fromfield) & return & ¬
"Subject: " & (encode mime style theSubject) & return & ¬
"Mime-Version: 1.0
X-Mailer: XMail
Content-Type: multipart/related; boundary=\"" & mimebound1 & "\"
This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
If you see this message, then you aren't using a
MIME compliant mail reader.
--" & mimebound1 & "
Content-type: multipart/alternative; boundary=\"" & mimebound2 & "\"
--" & mimebound2 & "
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
" & (quoted printable theBody) & "
--" & mimebound2 & "--
--" & mimebound1 & "
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Type: application/pdf; name=\"" & filename & "\"
Content-Disposition: attachment
" & base64attachment & "
--" & mimebound1 & "--
"
try
send raw mail to tofield from fromfield raw source rawSource ¬
SMTP server smtpServer username ¬
|username| password |password| authentication |authentication|
on error number -2753
send raw mail to theAddress from theSender ¬
raw source rawSource SMTP server smtpServer
end try

Good luck!
