[web2py] Sending email from form with multiple documents

[Omi Chiba]

I was creating a simple app which will send email with a single document 
and it works fine. I found Paolo's post to handle multiple documents and 
tried. It worked great but I have two problems.

Paolo's post
https://groups.google.com/group/web2py/browse_thread/thread/5e99d46f6fcc6917/47e7723396647f2b?lnk=gst&q=multiple+upload#47e7723396647f2b
 

Problem
1. Upload files are not saved under the app directories
2. And how can I retrieve the new file names (I could use 
"form.vars.attachment_newfilename" for a single document but not sure If I 
can use it for multiple documents)

Controller
==============
def index():
    import os
    filepath = os.path.join(request.folder,'uploads')
    form=SQLFORM.factory(Field('subject',requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY()),
                        Field('message','text',requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY()),
                        Field('attachment','upload',uploadfolder=filepath)
                        )
    
    if form.accepts(request):
        counter = 0
        text = ""
        for var in request.vars:
             if var.startswith('attachment') and request.vars[var] != '':
                 counter += 1
                 text += " " + request.vars[var].filename 
        response.flash = str(counter) + text                           
    
        # Send Email
    """
        mail.send('och...@xxx.com',
        request.vars.subject,
        request.vars.messagei
        attachments = [Mail.Attachment(filepath + '/' + 
form.vars.attachment_newfilename,
                                 filename=request.vars.attachment.filename)]
                 )
    """
    return dict(form=form)

View
=============
{{response.files.extend([URL('static','css/multiupload.css'),URL('static','js/jquery.multiupload.js')])}}
{{left_sidebar_enabled,right_sidebar_enabled=False,False}}
{{extend 'layout.html'}}
