Subject: Send email with attachments in Ruby

I'm trying to find some code to send an email with attachment in
ruby.  I'm using the following code to send an email, but I would like
to send an PDF.  Can someone please tell me what code i need to add to
include a file called "the_attachment.pdf"?  Thanks, Dave

## send email
require 'net/smtp'

# set up the email addresses
user_from = "my_email@here.com"
user_to = "their_email@there.com"

the_email = "From: my_email@here.com\n" +
            "Subject: Email with attachment\n\n" +
            "See attached PDF.\n\n"

# handling exceptions
begin
  Net::SMTP.start('localhost') do |smtp|
    smtp.send_message(the_email, user_from, user_to)
  end

rescue Exception => e
  print "Exception occured: " + e
end
