 * Hi,
 * I am generating a pdf locally consisting of test and a random 6 digit number.
 * I need to attach the pdf before the mail is sent.
 * Obviously I do not know what the random number generated will be so basically
   I do not know the filename to be attached and I cannot use the file attachment
   field in the form.
 * Is there a way to attach a file manually in the before_send method?
 * I am using ->uploaded_files but it is not working.
 * Thanks

 * Solved. Used `add_uploaded_file`.
