Sending email attachments via ASP.net

[darrel]

Good idea? Bad?

I have a client that has a bunch of random legacy perl scripts on their site
for their various contact forms.

They want everything converted to asp.net

One of their forms allows a person to upload an attachment and have it
emailed to them.

I find this a bad idea...I wouldn't want random files emailed to me from my
public site's contact form. I could easily set up a file-upload option that
then just send a link to the recipient to download the file from the server,
but they seem to really want the automatic attachment as an email method.

Is that doable/viable/suggested?

Sure it's "doable". Provide a FileUpload control, and when the server
processes the uploaded file, add it to the email as an attachment.
