I've mentioned the phpmailer class before and recommend it. With it, you 
do something like:

  $mail = new PHPMailer();
  $mail->From = "blah at blah.com";
  $mail->AddAddress("person at somewhere.com");
  $mail->Subject = "subject";
  $mail->Body    = "body";
  $mail->AddStringAttachment ($filedata, "data.txt", "base64", 
"application/octet-stream");
  $mail->Send();
