I haven't personally used this module but looking at the docs, 
http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/net/smtp/rdoc/index.html I don't 
see an attachment option.

You could however do this. (untested)

mess_body= File.readlines('1.txt')

msgstr = <<END_OF_MESSAGE
From: FromAddress
To: ToAddress
Subject: test message
Message-Id: <unique.message.id.string@example.com>

#{mess_body}
END_OF_MESSAGE

(did I win that 10,000 pound UK lotto yet?)
