That's the easy bit ;) I guess the difficult bit for James is getting
the file to be attached from the local HDD up the pipe to the server.
One could use one of many COM objects (at a price), but it's also
possible to use pure ASP. Check out

Save the file to the server HDD when it's uploaded. Attach, send and
delete it. Alternatively there's probably a way to keep the data in
memory on the server and build the attachment from that; I don't know
CDONTS well enough offhand to tell you how to do it.
