I'm trying to send a recorded sound file as attachment with MFMailComposeViewController. The sound file is OK. The picker shows the correct file name, shows the audio file icon as attachment, sends the mail, but there is no attachment in the result. I attached below the source of the sent mail. There is a "text/plain" content type part instead of "Content-Disposition: attachment;" as expected. This is my code code to define the path and attach the audio file. What could be wrong? #define DOCUMENTS_FOLDER [NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Documents"] #define FILEPATH [DOCUMENTS_FOLDER stringByAppendingPathComponent:[self dateString]] ... NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:FILEPATH]; self.recorder = [[AVAudioRecorder alloc] initWithURL:url settings:settings error:&error]; ... MFMailComposeViewController *picker = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init]; picker.mailComposeDelegate = self; NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath: [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", [self.recorder url]]]; NSData *audioData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:[url path]]; [picker addAttachmentData:audioData mimeType:@"audio/wav" fileName:[[url path] lastPathComponent]]; and the source of the sent mail: Content-type: multipart/mixed; boundary=Apple-Mail-1-614960740 Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit MIME-version: 1.0 (iPod Mail 7E18) Subject: Sound message: Date: Sun, 11 Apr 2010 11:58:56 +0200 X-Mailer: iPod Mail (7E18) --Apple-Mail-1-614960740 Content-Type: text/plain;     charset=us-ascii;     format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit It is a text here --Apple-Mail-1-614960740 Content-Type: text/plain;     charset=us-ascii;     format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sent from my iPod --Apple-Mail-1-614960740--
