I don't think you can attach the files by script, but a search
through the archives should show you how to set the "to" and
"subject" field using "launch mailto:";. I think someone also
developed an e-mail stack that sends mail and attachments out of
Metacard directly using sockets. Sorry, I don't have a url. (Does
anyone know?)
But a small warning about using e-mail attachments for sending back
results. I've done something similar, but have had a number of
reports of the attachments getting corrupted on the way. If possible,
you might want to look at using a server-based solution (cgi, etc.)
to handle the sending of results.

Now you can write long and inefficient scripts like the rest of us. :)
