You appear to be missing a marker somewhere. Why not use the mail gem[1] and let it handle this for you?

mail = Mail.new do
from from
to to
subject 'test subject'
body <<-BODY
Mail body

Thank you,
Programmer
BODY
add_file :filename => filename, :content => non_encoded_content
end

Now just write mail.to_s instead of mailtext per your example.

This is dangerous.  Someone could intercept the connection, and possibly steal your data.

If you obtain cacert.pem from a trusted location (e.g. [2]), you can configure Net::SMTP accordingly:

Net::SMTP.enable_tls(OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_PEER, File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), "..", "cacert.pem"))

With my above example, just call add_file multiple times, e.g. if a_array was an array of paths:

…
  a_array.each do |attachment|
    add_file :filename => File.basename(attachment[:filename]), :content => File.read(attachment[:filename])
  end
…  

Cheers,
