Description

Sending an attachment forces the label "File from Node-RED is attached". Other people have raised this on the Node-Red forums. It's a show stopper using this library forcing to show such labels isn't always ideal.

  1. Either want no attachment text so set to msg.attachmenttext="";
  2. Something custom set to say msg.attachmenttext = "See latest attachment"
  3. then Default to File from Node-RED is attached
