Using PHP and LiveCode together on your own server (even a shared hosting
account), you could also setup a cron job to run at certain times and have
the data automatically sent.

This will produce a flurry of support calls, as home users in my experience

Have a server somewhere which can gather the data included and email it

You could even run that LCServer script on your own site, as a service
