this works:

$attachment = PATH_site.'fileadmin/test.pdf';
$htmlmail = t3lib_div::makeInstance('t3lib_htmlmail');
$htmlmail->start();
$htmlmail->subject = $subject;
$htmlmail->from_email = $fromMail;
$htmlmail->from_name = $fromName;
$htmlmail->replyto_email = $htmlmail->from_email;
$htmlmail->replyto_name = $htmlmail->from_name;
$htmlmail->addAttachment($attachment);
 $htmlmail->addPlain($message);
$htmlmail->setHeaders();
$htmlmail->setContent();
$htmlmail->setRecipient(explode(',', $toEMail));
$htmlmail->sendTheMail();
