Here is some code snippet from gmailer.rb

           postdata = {}
           postdata["msgbody"] = stripslashes(body)
           postdata["from"] = stripslashes(from) if from 
           postdata["to"] = stripslashes(to)
           postdata["subject"] = stripslashes(subject)
           postdata["cc"] = stripslashes(cc)
           postdata["bcc"] = stripslashes(bcc)

           boundary = "----#{Time.now.to_i}#{(rand(2000)*2147483.648).to_i}"
           postdata2 = []
           postdata.each {|k,v|
             postdata2.push("Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"#{k}\"\r\n\r\n#{v}\r\n")
           }

           files.each_with_index do |f,i|
              content = File.open(f,'rb') { |c| c.read }
              postdata2.push("Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"file#{i}\"; filename=\"#{File.basename(f)}\"\r\n" +
                "Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary\r\n" +
                "Content-Type: application/octet-stream\r\n\r\n" + content + "\r\n")
           end

           postdata = postdata2.collect { |p|
                 "--" + boundary + "\r\n" + p
           }.join('') + "--" + boundary + "--\r\n"

           np = Net::HTTP::Proxy(@proxy_host,@proxy_port,@proxy_user,@proxy_pass).new(GM_LNK_HOST, 80)
           response = nil
           np.start { |http|
             response = http.post(GM_LNK_GMAIL, postdata,{'Cookie' => @cookie_str,'User-agent' => GM_USER_AGENT,'Content-type' => 'multipart/form-data; boundary=' + boundary  } )
           }

If you want full source, try gem install gmailer
