Can you provide more details on how you send emails? In general file attachments are done the same way regardless of what way you use to send emails... I suggest you familiarise yourself with documents standarising email transmission over network,

No, it's for something completely different.

I already gave you links to documents explaining email attachments and there is always Google.

I have not found any single straight forward crossplatform method of attaching files to emails. You basically have to construct the email message directly, discover the user's email server, then connect to it directly.

As ugly as it is, it's far easier to use #ifdefs and platform specific code. Under Windows you can use mapi32, under Mac AppleScript, and an URL attachment under Unix/Linux.
