using mailto in <form>

[sphinx3212000]

I have used the mailto command for the action attribute when i send forms and it has sent the data just fine in terms of checkboxes,text entry,etc

But, how come when i try to send a file attachment with the form, instead of just sending the data to my email it just brings up a blank outlook mail message when i try to submit.

I changed the enctype to multipart/form-data and I have IE6. Is this the kind of thing that has to go to a CGI script?
