You need a <input type=file name=image>, And enctype="multipart/form-data" in the <form> tag. Forms use HTTP POST to send data over the browser to the server.

When your server has received the form and file, you generate headers in the mail to attach the uploaded file and send. You can read a bit more about mail headers on http://no.php.net/mail.

This is one of the most difficult things to do.

There are a lot of factors to consider.

What type of site are coding now? html, php, asp, or something else?

I would give PHPMailer (http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/) a try. You can integrate the class with your form handler to have images mailed as attachments.
