title: PHP mail delivers attachment or message, but not both
body: <p>The PHP below will attach the file from the server, but will not allow me to edit the message input for the body of the email.</p>

  <p>If I do input a message for the body of the email by replacing:</p>
  
  <pre><code>  $email_message . "\n\n";
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>the attachment does not come through, but the message will... along with some gibberish</p>
