Email Attachment thru wesite

[Prez]

Hi, i am making a website and for it i have got a mailto command that sets up a pre-dtermined message with a subject and a body. The viewer types the email and can send it to anyone. However i want to add to this tag a command that will let me add attachments namely a sound file (.wav) i wish to embed in the email to play while the receiver reads his/her email. Can any one help? the command i use at the moment is

Click, <a href="mailto:""?subject="Im sorry"&body="Please forgive me. I didnt mean to hurt you">here</a>

Is there perhaps a command i could add like "&attachment=/sorry.wav"

Pls help. Thx

I think the only way you are going to be able to do that is with serverside coding.

o ok, but how do I do that?

And is it possible to perhaps use java?

[pyro]

By java, do you mean javascript? If so, no, I don't know of a way to do it. If you server supports PHP, take a look at these links:
