I've just downloaded and installed the PHPMailer Codeigniter wrapper from Maxsoftware but I can't find any tutorial information on it. What I want to be able to do is send an email with an attached pdf file.
So after the install what I do now to send an email? Can anyone point me in the direction of some code examples?

As an additional point, the library file name does not match the class name.
File name is phpmailer_email
Class name id PHPMailer_Email
Can that be right?
Also when I try to load the library CI throws an error:
'PHPMailer is not loaded'
So confusing...

why don't you use PHPMailer the original way?
Download the source files from https://github.com/Synchro/PHPMailer for example as Zip and unzip this to the root directory of your project. After that you can use PHPMailer with
require("class.phpmailer.php");
$mail = new PHPMailer();
to add an attachement read the tutorial:

hope this helps

Thanks for that - I guess your right. I just didn't pick the best option from the several available. I'll try the links you suggest and have another go.
Most grateful.
